The synthesis is conducted in a dibutyl ether, from which the more volatile PMe<sub>3</sub> can be distilled.


The C–P–C bond angles are consistent with the notion that phosphorus predominantly uses the 3p orbitals for forming bonds and that there is little sp hybridization of the phosphorus atom. The latter is a common feature of the chemistry of phosphorus. As a result, the lone pair of trimethylphosphine has predominantly s-character as is the case for phosphine, PH<sub>3</sub>.<ref>E. Fluck, The Chemistry of Phosphine, Topics in Current Chemistry Vol. 35, 64 pp, 1973.</ref>
