The activation barrier to axial torsion in 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)biphenyl
After selective deuteration of 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)biphenyl, it was possible to det. the NMR coalescence temp. of the diastereotopic Ph groups. On this basis, a torsional barrier of 22 kcal/mol was calcd. Thus, the bisphosphine, even if it could be resolved into pure enantiomers, would rapidly re-racemize at temps. around or >25 Deg.
