Triisobutylenediphenylphosphine (TIBDPP)

In the production of pharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical intermediates, and functional materials, the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction—using palladium compounds and alkylphosphine ligands as catalysts—is widely employed. TIBDPP, as a new ligand, has been reported to show extremely high performance when used in catalytic systems with nickel compounds, which are both inexpensive and readily available. TIBDPP is a novel ligand that enables both cost reduction and resource sustainability. This compound was developed through collaboration between ENEOS Corporation and Professor Kouki Matsubara of the Faculty of Science at Fukuoka University.
