N,N-Bis(diphenyl-phosphino)-1,2-dimethyl-propyl-amine.

ABSTRACT: The diphenyl-phosphine groups in the title compound, C(29)H(31)NP(2), are staggered relative to the PNP backbone. The N atom adopts an almost planar geometry with the two P atoms and the C atom attached to it, in order to accommodate the steric bulk of the phenyl groups and the alkyl group. Three C atoms of the 1,2-dimethylpropylamine group are disordered over two positions in a 9:1 ratio. The mol-ecules pack diagonally in the unit cell across the ac plane in a head-to-tail fashion.
