Ethyltriphenylphosphonium iodide is white to slightly yellowish crystalline powder
Ethyltriphenylphosphonium iodide is involved in synthesis of diarylmethine derivatives, phosphonium salts, and bismuth(III) polynuclear halide complexes, asymmetric hydrogenation.
Ethyltriphenylphosphonium iodide is used as a Wittig reagent and phase transfer catalyst in organic synthesis. It can also be used in asymmetric hydrogenation and to make Bismuth(III) polynuclear complexes.
