Dimethylaminophosphorus dichloride is an organophosphorus compound with the formula Me₂NPCl₂ (Me = methyl). A colorless liquid, it is a reagent in the preparation of other organophosphorus compounds. Many analogous compounds can be prepared from the reactions of secondary amines and phosphorus trichloride:[1]

2 R₂NH + PCl₃ → R₂NPCl₂ + R₂NH₂Cl

Reactions

Further equivalents of amine react with dialkylaminophosphorus dichlorides:

2 R₂NH + R₂NPCl₂ → (R₂N)₂PCl + R₂NH₂Cl

Since the P-NR₂ bond is not attacked by Grignard reagents, dimethylaminophosphorus dichloride can be selectively dimethylated:

2 MeMgBr + Me₂NPCl₂ → Me₂NPMe₂ + 2 MgBrCl

The resulting dimethylphosphino derivative, a structural relative of tetramethylhydrazine, reacts with hydrogen chloride to give chlorodimethylphosphine:[2]

Me₂NPMe₂ + 2 HCl → ClPMe₂ + Me₂NH₂Cl
