Properties and Applications
The key properties of dicyclohexylphenylphosphine lie in its substantial steric hindrance (provided by the two cyclohexyl groups) and strong electron-donating ability (contributed by both the phenyl and cyclohexyl groups). These properties make the metal catalysts (particularly palladium catalysts) formed with it highly active and stable, effectively promoting the synthesis of complex molecules.
