The general structure of a phosphite ester showing the lone pairs on the P. In organic chemistry, a phosphite ester or organophosphite usually refers to an organophosphorous compound with the formula P(OR) 3. They can be considered as esters of an unobserved tautomer phosphorous acid, H 3 PO 3, with the simplest example being trimethylphosphite ...
Triethyl phosphite is an organophosphorus compound, specifically a phosphite ester, with the formula P(OCH 2 CH 3) 3, often abbreviated P(OEt) 3. It is a colorless, malodorous liquid. It is used as a ligand in organometallic chemistry and as a reagent in organic synthesis.
Mono- and di- esters are usually water soluble, particularity biomolecules. Tri-esters such as flame retardants and plasticisers have positive log Kow values ranging between 1.44 and 9.49, signifying hydrophobicity. [5] [24] [4] [25] Hydrophobic OPEs are more likely to be bioaccumulated and biomagnified in aquatic ecosystems. [3]
Trimethyl phosphite is an organophosphorus compound with the formula P(OCH 3) 3, often abbreviated P(OMe) 3.It is a colorless liquid with a highly pungent odor. It is the simplest phosphite ester and finds used as a ligand in organometallic chemistry and as a reagent in organic synthesis.
Phosphites, sometimes called phosphite esters, have the general structure P(OR) 3 with oxidation state +3. Such species arise from the alcoholysis of phosphorus trichloride: PCl 3 + 3 ROH → P(OR) 3 + 3 HCl. The reaction is general, thus a vast number of such species are known.

[2] [3] This reaction is widely used for the synthesis of various phosphonates, phosphinates, and phosphine oxides. Several reviews have been published. [4] [5] The reaction also occurs for coordinated phosphite ligands, as illustrated by the demethylation of {(C 5 H 5)Co[(CH 3 O) 3 P] 3} 2+ to give {(C 5 H 5)Co[(CH 3 O) 2 PO] 3} −, which is ...
Diethyl phosphite is the organophosphorus compound with the formula (C 2 H 5 O) 2 P(O)H. It is a popular reagent for generating other organophosphorus compounds, exploiting the high reactivity of the P-H bond.
