dialkylphosphinic
Dialkylphosphinic acids are a class of organophosphorus compounds with the general formula R2P(O)OH, where R represents an alkyl group. These compounds are characterized by a phosphorus atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to two alkyl groups and a hydroxyl group. Dialkylphosphinic acids are acidic due to the presence of the hydroxyl group attached to the phosphorus. They are typically white crystalline solids that are soluble in polar organic solvents and water.
The synthesis of dialkylphosphinic acids can be achieved through various methods, often involving the oxidation of
Dialkylphosphinic acids and their derivatives find applications in several areas. They can act as ligands in
