Triethyl Phosphite | 122-52-1

Description :

Overview of Triethyl Phosphite 

Triethyl Phosphite is a colourless to light yellow liquid organophosphorus that is frequently employed as a reagent for organic synthesis, as an antioxidant, a stabiliser, and a catalyst for agrochemical and pharmaceutical production. It's a triester of the acid phosphorous and is an incredibly versatile phosphorylating and reducing agent in many chemical reactions.

It is frequently employed in conjunction with Thiophenol and Thiourea for specialised synthesised pathways and industrial applications.

Chemical Formula: C6H15O3P or P(OC2H5)3

The structure: The central phosphorus atom is bonded with three groups of ethoxy

Reactivity: It is sensitive to moisture and easily transforms into Triethyl Phosphate, which is a valuable ingredient as a catalyst for phosphorylation reactions used in organic chemistry
