(R)-5,5'-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-2,2,2',2'-tetrafluoro-4,4'-bi-1,3-benzodioxole is an organophosphorus compound that has been shown to be a potent cholinesterase inhibitor. It is used in environmental pollution studies and in the synthesis of organic compounds. The reaction yield can be increased by using a pyridinium as a catalyst. This compound reacts with an aryl halide to form an electron deficient carbenoid species. The (R)-enantiomer of this compound is also known for its ability to react with β-amino acids to form chiral derivatives. This chemical is also notable for its ability to bind to quinoline derivatives. Cholinesterase inhibitors are often used as pesticides or insecticides because they inhibit the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine and other neurotransmitters at
