Procedure: An oven-dried Schlenk tube was cooled to room temperature under an argon purge, and was charged with magnesium turnings (54 mg, 2.2 mmol), THF (2 mL), and 1,2-dibromoethane (9 μL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 min, then a solution of 2 (618 mg, 2.0 mmol) in 1 mL THF was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at rt for 1 h, then the septum was removed from the flask, and copper (I) chloride (283 mg, 2.1 mmol) was added. The tube was capped with the septum and purged with argon for 1 min. The tube was charged with di-t-butylchlorophosphine (0.46 mL, 2.4 mmol) and additional THF (1 mL). The mixture was heated to 60° C. with stirring for 26 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered, and the solids were washed with ether/hexanes (50 mL, 1/1 v/v). The organic solution was poured into a separatory funnel and washed with ammonium hydroxide solution (3×50 mL), and brine (50 mL). The organic phase was then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The crude material was recrystallized from hot methanol to afford 191 mg (26%) of 3 as a white, crystalline solid. purge The mixture was stirred at rt for 1 h was added The tube was capped with the septum purged with argon for 1 min The mixture was heated to 60° C. with stirring for 26 h The mixture was cooled to room temperature filtered the solids were washed with ether/hexanes (50 mL, 1/1 v/v) The organic solution was poured into a separatory funnel washed with ammonium hydroxide solution (3×50 mL), and brine (50 mL) The organic phase was then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate filtered concentrated The crude material was recrystallized from hot methanol

Procedure: An oven dried Schlenk tube was evacuated and backfilled with argon and charged with magnesium turnings (90 mg, 3.69 mmol). 2-bromo-4′-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl (1.01 g, 3.35 mmol), and a crystal of iodine. The tube was purged with argon for 5 minutes, then THF (6 ml,) was added through a rubber septum and the reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and cuprous chloride (365 mg, 3.69 mmol) and chloro-di-t-butylphosphine (0.765 mL, 4.03 mmol) were added. Heating was resumed for 14 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature and diluted with ether (40 mL). The suspension was filtered to isolate the solid. The solid was partitioned between ethyl acetate (60 mL) and 38% ammonium hydroxide (75 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (60 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (50 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, decanted. and concentrated in vacuo. The product was crystallized from MeOH (10 mL) to afford 131 mg (11%) of pale yellow needles. A second crop was isolated by concentrating the mother liquor and recrystallizing the solid from MeOH (20 mL) and water (2 ml,) to afford 260 mg (21%) of the product.

Procedure: A solution of 2-bromobiphenyl (5.38 g, 23.1 mmol) and a few iodine crystals in 40 mL of THF with magnesium turnings (617 mg, 25.4 mmol) was heated to a reflux for 2 h. Heat was temporarily removed for the addition of cuprous chloride (2.40 g, 24.2 mmol) followed by chlorodi-tert-butylphosphine. Heating was resumed for 8 h. The reaction mixture was then removed from heat and allowed to cool to rt. The reaction mixture was poured onto 200 mL of 1:1 hexane/ether. The suspension was filtered and the filtercake was washed with 60 mL of hexane. The solid was partitioned between 150 mL of 1:1 hexane/ethyl acetate and 60 mL of concentrated ammonium hydroxide with 100 mL of water. The organic layer was washed with 100 mL of brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. The white solid was recrystallized from 30 mL of MeOH to give white crystals of 2-(di-tert-butylphosphino)biphenyl (4.01 g, 58%). A second crop (464 mg, 67%) was obtained by recrystallization from 50 mL of MeOH and 25 mL of water. a reflux for 2 h Heat Heating The reaction mixture was then removed from heat The reaction mixture was poured onto 200 mL of 1:1 hexane/ether The suspension was filtered the filtercake was washed with 60 mL of hexane The solid was partitioned between 150 mL of 1:1 hexane/ethyl acetate and 60 mL of concentrated ammonium hydroxide with 100 mL of water The organic layer was washed with 100 mL of brine dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate concentrated in vacuo The white solid was recrystallized from 30 mL of MeOH

Procedure: Di-t-butylchlorophosphine (75.0 g (0.415 mole)) and 0.5 mole of 12M solution of benzylmagnesium chloride in THF (200 ml) were refluxed under argon for 2 days. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool off to RT and an aqueous solution of ammonium chloride was added slowly. The organic phase was separated, and dried with magnesium sulfate. After removal of the solvent, the product was purified by distillation in vacuum. The yield of benzyl-di-t-butylphosphine was 94.3 g (96%) with b.p. 56-59° C./0.1 mm. 31-P-NMR (CDCl3)+36.63 ppm. 1H NMR (CDCl3) 1.18 (s, 9H, Me3C), 1.20 (s, 9H, Me3C), 2.90 (d, 2JPH=2.92 Hz, P—CH2-Ph), 7.1-7:6 (m, 5H, aromatic protons). The organic phase was separated dried with magnesium sulfate After removal of the solvent the product was purified by distillation in vacuum
