Tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine is the organophosphorus compound with the formula P(CH₂OH)₃. It is a white solid. The compound is multifunctional, consisting of three alcohol functional groups and a tertiary phosphine. It is prepared by treating tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride with strong base:^[2]^[3]

[P(CH₂OH)₄]Cl + NaOH → P(CH₂OH)₃ + H₂O + H₂C=O + NaCl

The compound can be prepared on a large scale using triethylamine as base and as solvent.^[4]

Reactions

The compound forms complexes with a variety of metals. These complexes display some solubility in water but more so in methanol.^[4] The compound decomposes violently to phosphine and formaldehyde upon attempted distillation. In air, it oxidizes to the oxide.

Upon heating with hexamethylenetetramine, it converts to triazaphosphaadamantane.^[5]
