The silyl phosphine compound of the present invention is represented by the formula (1) and has an arsenic content of not more than 1 ppm. The process for producing a silyl phosphine compound of the present invention is a process comprising mixing a basic compound, a silylating agent and phosphine to obtain a solution containing a silyl phosphine compound, removing a solvent from the solution to obtain a concentrated solution of a silyl phosphine compound, and distilling the concentrated solution, wherein an arsenic content in the phosphine is adjusted to not more than 1 ppm by volume in terms of arsine. The process for producing InP quantum dots of the present invention uses, as a phosphorus source, a silyl phosphine compound represented by the formula (1) and having an arsenic content of not more than 1 ppm by mass. ##STR00001## (For definition of R, see the specification.)

The present invention relates to a method for olefin oligomerization and comprising i) injecting an olefin monomer and a solvent into a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR); ii) injecting an oligomerization catalyst system comprising a ligand compound, a transition metal compound, and a co-catalyst into the continuous stirred tank reactor; and iii) performing a multimerization reaction of the olefin monomer, wherein a ratio of the flowing rates of the olefin monomer and the solvent is from 1:1 to 2:1. In the method for olefin oligomerization according to the present invention, high linear alpha-olefin selectivity may be attained even with a small amount of a solvent used by controlling reaction conditions during the multimerization reaction of olefin by a continuous reaction using a continuous stirred tank reactor.

Methods of preparing primary phosphine products using one or more precursor cyclophosphanes, hydrogen, and one or more Lewis acid catalysts. In some embodiments, a cyclophosphane precursor and at least one Lewis acid are dissolved in a solvent to provide a solution. The solution is treated with hydrogen, and optionally heated, to cause a reaction that produces a primary phosphine © product. The primary phosphine product may be isolated from the Lewis acid(s) and optionally purified. In some embodiments, a method may include synthesizing the cyclophosphane precursor prior to mixing the cyclophosphane precursor and the Lewis acid(s).

The present application discloses a 3,3,3′,3′-tetramethyl-1,1′-spirobiindane-based phosphine ligand, an intermediate, a preparation method and uses thereof. The compound of phosphine ligand is a compound having a structure represented by formula I or formula II, or an enantiomer, a raceme, or diastereomer thereof. The phosphine ligand can be prepared via a preparation scheme in which the cheap and easily available 6,6′-dihydroxyl-3,3,3′,3′-tetramethyl-1,1′-spirobiindane is used as a raw material and the compound represented by formula III serves as the key intermediate. The new phosphine ligand developed by the present application can be used in catalytic organic reaction, in particular as a chiral phosphine ligand that is widely used in many asymmetric catalytic reactions including asymmetric hydrogenation and asymmetric allyl alkylation, and thus it has economic practicability and industrial application prospect. ##STR00001##

A new set of bench-stable fluoroalkylphosphines that directly convert C—H bonds in pyridine building blocks, drug-like fragments, and pharmaceuticals, into fluoroalkyl derivatives. No pre-installed functional groups or directing motifs are required. The reaction tolerates a variety of sterically and electronically distinct pyridines and is exclusively selective for the 4-position in most cases. The reaction proceeds via initial phosphonium salt formation followed by sp.sup.2-sp.sup.3 phosphorus ligand-coupling, an underdeveloped manifold for C—C bond formation.
