Diphenylphosphine Oxide (DPPO) serves as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of phosphine ligands for catalytic systems. It is widely used in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki-Miyaura and Heck couplings, due to its electron-withdrawing properties. Additionally, DPPO acts as a stabilizer in polymer formulations and as a flame retardant in epoxy resins. Its role in Wittig reactions makes it indispensable for olefin synthesis in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research.
