This review highlights the use of a bisphosphine ligand group in homogeneous catalysis. This ligand group is known as the Xantphos-like ligands, which are based on the generic formula of 2,2′-bis(phosphino)diaryl ether. The synthesis of the main members is summarized and emphasis is given to ligands that can be easily synthesized, also on large scale. The catalytic applications are not comprehensively presented, but instead, about 20% of the examples from literature have been extracted, aiming at the demonstration of diversity, peculiar examples, historical development, design vs. trial and error, and new reactions. Metals ranging from group 7 to 11 have been used in a wide variety of reactions: hydroformylation, alkoxycarbonylation, hydrocyanation, cross-coupling reactions for many C–C and C–X bond forming reactions, carbonylative coupling reactions, phosphinations, etc.

包含Xantphos

这篇综述强调了双膦配体基团在均相催化中的用途。该配体基团被称为类Xantphos配体，其基于2,2'-双（膦基）二芳基醚的通式。总结了主要成员的合成，并重点介绍了易于大规模合成的配体。没有全面介绍催化应用，而是从文献中提取了约20％的实例，目的是演示多样性，独特的实例，历史发展，设计与实践。反复试验，以及新的反应。第7-11组的金属已用于多种反应中：加氢甲酰化，烷氧羰基化，氢氰化，许多C–C和C–X键形成反应的交叉偶联反应，羰基化偶联反应，磷酸化等。
