In the 39H54BCl2P, the phosphorus atom is coordinated by a dichlorophenylborane unit. The substituted biphenyl group and the two cyclohexyl groups at the phosphorus atom are arranged in such a way to avoid steric crowding in the molecule as far as possible.

To prepare the title compound, 2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)-2',4',6'-triisopropylbiphenyl (0.20 g, 0.42 mmol) dissolved in 2 ml benzene, and dichlorophenylborane (0.07 g, 0.46 mmol) dissolved in 2 ml benzene were combined and stirred for 3 h at ambient temperature. All volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. The obtained solid was washed twice with 4 ml hexane. Recrystallization at ambient temperature from hexane gave colourless crystals of (I) 0.11 g (0.23 mmol, 54%).
The title compound, previously not known in the literature, was prepared by the reaction of dichlorophenylborane with 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2',4',6'-triisopropylbiphenyl. The second precursor is also known as XPhos and is used for example in Pd-catalysed C–N bond-forming processes (Strieter et al., 2003). There is one similar structurally characterized compound (PhMe2PBCl3), which is a byproduct in the reaction of a platinum boryl complex with phosphine (Charmant et al., 2007). However in this molecule there is no biphenyl ring attached to the phosphorus atom. The compound (2-biphenylyl)methoxyphenylphosphine-P-borane(1/1) which is used by Grabulosa et al. (2005) in the asymmetric hydrovinylation of styrene, contains a biphenyl ring but has no halogens at the boron. Beyond that this biphenyl ring is not substitued by isopropyl groups. So the choice of the substituents in the title compound makes it different from currently known compounds, in that the biphenylphosphines so far have not been combined with reactive haloboranes. The P—B distance is comparable with that found in PhMe2P—BCl3 (Charmant et al., 2007) and in BiphMePhP—BH3 (Biph = Ph-2-Ph) (Grabulosa et al., 2005) The B—Cl distance is comparable with those found in PhMe2PBCl3 (Grabulosa et al., 2005). The biphenyl substituent is positioned away from the boron so that the isopropyl groups have sufficient space. The two phenyl rings of the biphenyl group adopt an almost perpendicular postition to each other, as is the typical conformation. The boron centre displays a slightly disordered tetrahedral coordination.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The title compound, previously not known in the literature, was prepared by the reaction of dichlorophenylborane with 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2',4',6'-triisopropylbiphenyl. The second precursor is also known as XPhos and is used for example in Pd-catalysed C–N bond-forming processes (Strieter et al., 2003). There is one similar structurally characterized compound (PhMe2PBCl3), which is a byproduct in the reaction of a platinum boryl complex with phosphine (Charmant et al., 2007). However in this molecule there is no biphenyl ring attached to the phosphorus atom. The compound (2-biphenylyl)methoxyphenylphosphine-P-borane(1/1) which is used by Grabulosa et al. (2005) in the asymmetric hydrovinylation of styrene, contains a biphenyl ring but has no halogens at the boron. Beyond that this biphenyl ring is not substitued by isopropyl groups. So the choice of the substituents in the title compound makes it different from currently known compounds, in that the biphenylphosphines so far have not been combined with reactive haloboranes. The P—B distance is comparable with that found in PhMe2P—BCl3 (Charmant et al., 2007) and in BiphMePhP—BH3 (Biph = Ph-2-Ph) (Grabulosa et al., 2005) The B—Cl distance is comparable with those found in PhMe2PBCl3 (Grabulosa et al., 2005). The biphenyl substituent is positioned away from the boron so that the isopropyl groups have sufficient space. The two phenyl rings of the biphenyl group adopt an almost perpendicular postition to each other, as is the typical conformation. The boron centre displays a slightly disordered tetrahedral coordination.
