Tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphine is prepared by treating trimethylsilyl chloride, white phosphorus, and sodium-potassium alloy: [2] 1/4 P 4 + 3 Me 3 SiCl + 3 K → P(SiMe 3) 3 + 3 KCl. Several other methods exist. [1] Copper phosphide cluster Cu 96 P 30 {P(SiMe 3) 2} 6 (PEt 3) 18 with C and H atoms omitted for clarity (red=Cu, purple=P, tan=Si ...
Diethyl phosphite hydrolyzes to give phosphorous acid. Hydrogen chloride accelerates this conversion.: [2] Diethyl phosphite undergoes transesterification upon treating with an alcohol. For alcohols of high boiling points, the conversion can be driven by removal of ethanol: [8] (C 2 H 5 O) 2 P(O)H + 2 ROH → (RO) 2 P(O)H + 2 C 2 H 5 OH
Dimethyl methylphosphonate can be prepared from trimethyl phosphite and a halomethane (e.g. iodomethane) via the Michaelis–Arbuzov reaction. [2]Dimethyl methylphosphonate is a schedule 2 chemical as it may be used in the production of chemical weapons.
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.
A trimethylsilyl group (abbreviated TMS) is a functional group in organic chemistry.This group consists of three methyl groups bonded to a silicon atom [−Si(CH 3) 3], which is in turn bonded to the rest of a molecule.
Phosphonic acids, typically handled as salts, are generally nonvolatile solids that are poorly soluble in organic solvents, but soluble in water and common alcohols. Many commercially important compounds are phosphonates, including glyphosate (the active molecule of the herbicide Roundup ), and ethephon , a widely used plant growth regulator.
Phosphite esters with tertiary alkyl halide groups can undergo the reaction, which would be unexpected if only an S N 2 mechanism was operating. Further support for this S N 1 type mechanism comes from the use of the Arbuzov reaction in the synthesis of neopentyl halides, a class of compounds that are notoriously unreactive towards S N 2 reactions.
Dimethylphosphite is an organophosphorus compound with the formula (CH 3 O) 2 P(O)H, known as dimethyl hydrogen phosphite (DMHP). Dimethylphosphite, is a minor tautomer of the phosphorus(V) derivative. It is a reagent for generating other organophosphorus compounds, exploiting the high reactivity of the P-H bond. The molecule is tetrahedral. It ...
