SPhos (2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2’,6’-dimethoxybiphenyl) is the iconic Buchwald biaryl phosphine ligand. Its electron-rich and sterically demanding character enables high-yielding Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of sterically hindered aryl chlorides and boronic acids under mild conditions.

Applications

  • Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of aryl chlorides (Pd/SPhos)
  • Cross-coupling of sterically hindered substrates
  • C–N and C–O bond formation (Buchwald-Hartwig)
  • Pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis
