SiGNa Chemistry: Reactions

Classic Method

Many phosphine derivatives are important industrial compounds with applications as synthetic intermediates or as ligands in a variety of homogeneous and heterogeneous synthetic processes. Their derivatization, however, have many difficulties associated with them including the need for dissolving metal conditions, or a metal dispersion setup.

Triphenylphosphine Reduction

Problems

Handling of alkali metals and liquid ammonia at cryogenic temperatures
Ammonia conditions reduce substrate solubility limiting product yield
Alkali metal dispersions variability force reaction inconsistency and redesign
Operations, waste treatment, and both safety and economic issues

SiGNa's Method

Phosphine reduction using SiGNa's method removes the reaction challenges and allows for improved reaction control with no need for low temperatures. The SiGNa method increases solvent choice, selectivity and yield and allows high concentration reactions at ambient conditions.
