Copper-Catalyzed Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Triarylphosphines

Abstract
Various triarylphosphines have been prepared by coupling diphenylphosphine with aryl iodides with catalytic amounts of CuI in the presence of either K2CO3 or Cs2CO3, in good yields. This method can tolerate a variety of functional groups and does not require the use of expensive additives, or harsh reaction conditions, and is palladium free.
