Tris(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)phosphine (TTMPP) is a large triaryl organophosphine whose strong Lewis-basic properties make it useful as an organocatalyst for several types of chemical reactions.

Reactions

[edit]

TTMPP removes the trimethylsilyl group from ketene silyl acetals (the enol ether of esters) to give enolates that can then act as strong nucleophiles. It thus serves as a catalyst for Mukaiyama aldol reactions[2] and group-transfer chain-growth polymerization reactions.[3]

As a Brønsted base, TTMPP can deprotonate various alcohols, giving nucleophilic alkoxides that can undergo Michael addition reactions.[4]

TTMPP can act as a Michael nucleophile itself to catalyze Baylis–Hillman reactions.[5]

Uses

[edit]

TTMPP is used as a ligand to form palladium-phosphine catalysts which are more reactive than triphenylphosphine-based catalysts.[6]
