XPhos (2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2’,4’,6’-triisopropylbiphenyl) is a privileged Buchwald biaryl phosphine ligand. The bulky, electron-rich character enables highly efficient Buchwald-Hartwig amination, Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, and other challenging C–C and C–heteroatom bond formations.

Applications

  • Buchwald-Hartwig amination (Pd/XPhos)
  • Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of aryl chlorides
  • C–O and C–S bond formation
  • Pharmaceutical API manufacturing
