Phosgene is an organic chemical compound with the formula COCl 2. It is a toxic, colorless gas; in low concentrations, its musty odor resembles that of freshly cut hay or grass. [ 7 ] It can be thought of chemically as the double acyl chloride analog of carbonic acid , or structurally as formaldehyde with the hydrogen atoms replaced by chlorine ...
Tributylphosphine is the organophosphorus compound with the chemical formula P(CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3) 3, often abbreviated as PBu 3. It is a tertiary phosphine. It is an oily liquid at room temperature, with a nauseating odor. It reacts slowly with atmospheric oxygen, and rapidly with other oxidizing agents, to give tributylphosphine oxide.
Chlorophosphines or chlorophosphanes are phosphorus(III) compounds formally derived from phosphine that have the general structure R 3-x PCl x, where R can include alkoxy, amido, and H. Wikimedia Commons has media related to Phosphines .
Phosphine is an attractive fumigant because it is lethal to insects and rodents, but degrades to phosphoric acid, which is non-toxic. As sources of phosphine, for farm use, pellets of aluminium phosphide (AlP), calcium phosphide (Ca 3 P 2), or zinc phosphide (Zn 3 P 2) are used. These phosphides release phosphine upon contact with atmospheric ...
Phosphines or phosphanes are phosphorus compounds derived from phosphine and have the general structure R 3 P. For the nitrogen analogues, please see Category:Inorganic amines . Wikimedia Commons has media related to Phosphines .
Organophosphines are organophosphorus compounds with the formula PR n H 3−n, where R is an organic substituent.These compounds can be classified according to the value of n: primary phosphines (n = 1), secondary phosphines (n = 2), tertiary phosphines (n = 3).
Cl-CO-OCH 3 + 3 Cl 2 —(hv)→ Cl-CO-OCCl 3 + 3 HCl. Another method is the radical chlorination of methyl formate: [2] H-CO-OCH 3 + 4 Cl 2 —(hv)→ Cl-CO-OCCl 3 + 4 HCl. Diphosgene converts to phosgene upon heating or upon catalysis with charcoal. It is thus useful for reactions traditionally relying on phosgene.
Phosgene is the most dangerous commonly used pulmonary agent (although disulfur decafluoride and perfluoroisobutene are both even more dangerous, with respectively 4 and 10 times the lethality of phosgene, neither is widely used). It is a colorless gas under ordinary conditions.
