Hi, I want to make triphenylphosphine oxide from TPP. I know that TPP gets easily oxidized even by atmospheric oxygen, but i can't find any synthesis
on internet except for the appel reaction in which its a byproduct. Can anyone post here synthesis of TPP oxide from TPP?

TPP is used as a reagent for measuring H2O2 in air.
You can make TPPO by oxidising TPP with H2O2 in acetonitrile - other solvents might work too, but that's the one I used.
I can't see why ethanol or methanol wouldn't work.

Any solvent that can dissolve TPP should work, and if it doesn't dissolve TPPO as well it would work even better. You could probably even bubble air
into it and have the TPPO simply precipitate out.
I run a lot of reactions that produce TPPO as a byproduct where it is thrown out as waste. I'm curious, what use do you have for it?

I want to make green triboluminescent compound which is Mn(Ph3PO)2Br2 complex
