2-(Diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde（Cat No.:L018309）is an organophosphorus compound featuring a diphenylphosphino group and an aldehyde group positioned ortho to each other on a benzene ring. This dual-functional structure makes it highly useful in coordination chemistry and ligand design. The phosphine group can coordinate to metal centers, while the aldehyde can undergo condensation reactions, enabling the synthesis of bidentate ligands and chelating agents. It is commonly used in the preparation of metal complexes for catalysis, particularly in asymmetric synthesis and homogeneous catalysis, offering both steric and electronic tunability in catalytic environments.
