SPhos

SPhos is a phosphine ligand derived from biphenyl. Its palladium complexes exhibit high activity for Suzuki coupling reactions involving aryl chlorides, which are unreactive with palladium complexes of most other phosphine ligands.^[1] The ligand has convenient handling characteristics since it is air-stable.^[2]
