Being a -M substituent, the 4-diphenylphosphinyl group acidifies the methyl group of toluene to a similar degree as a 4-cyano group.The carbanion formed by deprotonation reacts with N-benzylidene anilines to yield 4-(diphenylphosphinyl)stilbenes.In these, UV-spectroscopically the phosphorus on the one hand behaves like a -M substituent, on the other hand it acts as a barrier to through-conjugation.
