Biphenyl-based phosphine ligands can be prepared on a significantly larger scale than previously possible as a result of the following discoveries and improvements to the original experimental procedure: the finding that CuCl catalyzes the coupling of hindered dialkylchlorophosphines with Grignard reagents; the development of conditions that permit ClPCy2 to be prepared and utilized in situ; the development of a more reliable large-scale preparation of 2-dimethylaminophenylmagnesium halide.

Functionalized dicyclohexyl- and di-tert-butylphosphinobiphenyl ligands are prepared by the reaction of arylmagnesium halides with benzyne, followed by the addition of a chlorodialkylphosphine. This one-pot procedure is considerably less expensive and time-consuming than the method used previously to prepare such ligands. The cost of introducing the dicyclohexylphosphine group can be decreased by preparing chlorodicyclohexylphosphine from PCl3 and cyclohexylmagnesium chloride, and using the reagent without further purification. The new method is significant, as a variety of ligands can be produced in useful amounts by a procedure that is simple, with starting materials that are relatively inexpensive, and, in most cases, without chromatographic purification.

A general method for the palladium-catalyzed formation of diaryl ethers is described. Electron-rich, bulky aryldialkylphosphine ligands, in which the two alkyl groups are either tert-butyl or 1-adamantyl, are the key to the success of the transformation. A wide range of electron-deficient, electronically neutral and electron-rich aryl bromides, chlorides, and triflates can be combined with a variety of phenols with the use of sodium hydride or potassium phosphate as base in toluene at 100 °C. The bulky yet basic nature of the phosphine ligand is thought to be responsible for increasing the rate of reductive elimination of the diaryl ether from palladium.
