Triethyl phosphite Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

Triethyl phosphite is a clear colorless liquid with a strong foul odor. Insoluble in water; soluble in alcohol and ether. Combustible.Vapors heavier than air.

Uses

Triethyl phosphite is an organophosphorus compound. It is used as a reducing agent; can react with electrophiles to form phosphonates or phosphates; forms a stable complex with copper(I) iodide.
Triethyl phosphite is a very good nucleophile. The carbon adjacent to the bromine is the most electrophilic position, and phosphorus is the only nucleophile. Triethyl phosphite displaces the bromine in an SN2-like process, and back attack by the bromide which is released generates a phosphonate product, in which the α-protons are strongly acidic.

Preparation

Triethyl phosphite is produced in a closed system by reaction of phosphorous trichlorid and ethanol in the presence of an inorganic or organic base. The product is purified by distillation (Bayer AG, 2002a).
122-52-1 synthesis
Triethyl phosphite is exclusively used as an intermediate for the manufacturing of different products: flame retardants (about 60 %), optical brighteners (about 15 %), pesticides (about 15 %), antioxidants (about 5 %), and pharmaceuticals (about 5 %).

Reactions

This reaction is currently used for the preparation of synthetically useful phosphonate reagents employed in modified retinal studies. Thus, diethyl 3-alkoxycarbonyl-2-propenylphosphonates are prepared in 72-91% yields by the reaction of methyl or ethyl 4-bromocrotonates with triethyl phosphite at 150-160°C. Similarly, diethyl 3-(ethoxycarbonyl)-2 methyl-2-propenylphosphonate is prepared in 81% yield from triethyl phosphite and ethyl 3-methyl-4-chlorocrotonate by heating at 180- 200°C.The diethyl (E)- and (Z)-3-ethoxycarbonyl-3 fluoro-2 -methyl-2-propenylphosphonates are respectively obtained from triethyl phosphite and (E)- or (Z)-4-bromo-2-fuoro-3-methyl-2-butenoates at 140°C.

Reactivity Profile

Triethyl phosphite is colorless, moderately toxic liquid, combustible. Flammable when exposed to heat or flame. When heated to decomposition Triethyl phosphite emits toxic fumes of oxides of phosphorus [Lewis, 3rd ed., 1993, p. 1271].

Health Hazard

Exposure to high concentrations may cause headache, nausea, and dizziness due to reduced chlolinesterase activity.

Fire Hazard

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: May form hazardous decomposition products.

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by ingestion. A skin and eye irritant. Flammable liquid when exposed to heat, sparks, or flame. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of POx.
