Aryl phosphite esters may not undergo these reactions and hence are commonly used as stabilizers in halogen-bearing polymers such as PVC. Autoxidation of a keto steroid with oxygen to the hydroperoxide (not depicted) followed by reduction with triethylphosphite to the alcohol. Phosphite esters may be used as reducing agents in
Alkyl phosphates belong to a group of organic compounds called organophosphates.They are esters of phosphoric acid H 3 PO 4 and corresponding alcohol.For example, the formula of methyl phosphate is CH 3-H 2 PO 4, dimethyl phosphate – (CH 3) 2 HPO 4 and trimethyl phosphate – (CH 3) 3 PO 4.
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
The wide variety of substitutes used in organophosphate esters results in great variations in physical properties. OPEs exhibit a wide range of octanol/water partition coefficients where log Kow values range from -0.98 up to 10.6. [5] Mono- and di- esters are usually water soluble, particularity biomolecules.
Solvents are often not used for this reaction, though there is precedent for the improvement of selectivity with its usage. [5] Phosphonites are generally more reactive than phosphite esters. They react to produce phosphinates. Heating is also required for the reaction, but pyrolysis of the ester to an acid is a common side reaction. The poor ...
Many peroxides are used as a radical initiators, e.g., to enable polymerization of acrylates. Industrial resins based on acrylic and/or methacrylic acid esters are invariably produced by radical polymerization with organic peroxides at elevated temperatures. [9] The polymerization rate is adjusted by suitable choice of temperature and type of ...
Since orthophosphoric acid has three −OH groups, it can esterify with one, two, or three alcohol molecules to form a mono-, di-, or triester. See the general structure image of an ortho- (or mono-) phosphate ester below on the left, where any of the R groups can be a hydrogen or an organic radical. Di- and tripoly- (or tri-) phosphate esters ...
Triethyl phosphite (TEP) 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.
