IS obtained by the condensation of triphenylphosphine and ethylene chlorhydrin. It crystallises in glistening wlnte needles, M.pt. 129° to 130° C., readily soluble in water or alcohol, insoluble in ether. Its platinichloride crystallises from dilute alcohol in golden-yellow needles melting with decomposition at 222° to 224° C. Moist silver oxide transforms the hydrochloride to the free base, a viscous liquid which is strongly alkaline and absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The hydrobromide forms yellowish-white crystals, M.pt. 114° C., and the hydriodide melts at 185° to 186° C.

A 500-ml rcund-bottom flask is equipped with a reflux condenser, a gas inlet tube, and a gas outlet leading to a bubbler. The flask is charged with a solution of rhodium (III) chloride trihydrate (2 g) in 70 ml of 95 % ethanol. A solution of triphenylphosphine (12 g, freshly recrystallized from ethanol to remove the oxide) in 350 ml of hot ethanol is added to the flask, and the system is flushed with nitrogen. The mixture is refluxed for 2 hours, following which the hot solution is filtered by suction to obtain the product. The crystalline residue is washed with several small portions of anhydrous ether (50 ml total) affording the deep red crystalline product in about 85% yield. 

Ethylene oxide (2.5 ml, 0.05 mole) is condensed in a 50-ml round-bottom flask containing 5 ml of methylene chloride by introducing the gas via a tube into the ice-cooled flask.

The residue consists of triphenylphosphine oxide, mp 150°.

The use of triphenylphosphine and 2,2 -bipyridyl disulphide in oxidation-reduction condensations has been extended to the phosphorylation of alcohols and phosphates, and to the preparation of 5 -(2-pyridyl) phosphorothioates (60) which have been used for the synthesis of pyrophosphates (see Chapter 6, Section 1).

The use of the triphenylphosphine-di(2-pyridyl) disulphide reagent for effecting condensation reactions has been reviewed.84 Combination of triphenylphosphine with bis(O-thiocarbonyl) disulphide gives a superior reagent compared to that mentioned above for the preparation of mixed diesters of phosphoric acid from monophosphate esters.86... 

The course of the condensation of ethylene glycol with secondary amines (Me2NH, Et2NH, pyrrolidine or morpholine) depends on the catalyst used. Triphenylphosphine complexes of ruthenium, e.g. RuCl2(PPh3)3, give hydroxyalkylamines while hydrated ruthenium(III) chloride yields diamines (equation 24)62.
