Diethyl phosphorofluoridite

As a matter of interest, we obtained a compound, diethyl phosphorofluoridite (IX), of a lower state of oxidation than the corresponding phosphorofluoridate by the action of phosphorus dichlorofluoride on ethyl alcohol. The new compound, unlike the phosphorofluoridate, was readily hydrolysed by water, was relatively non-toxic and did not produce myosis.1... 

The myotic, toxic and other physiological properties of the dialkyl phosphorofluoridates, POF(O.R)2, have been fully described on pp. 42, 68 et seq. In 19444 we described an analogous compound of the phosphorofluoridite series, namely, diethyl phosphorofluoridite, PF(OEt)2. This could not be prepared by the action of sodium fluoride on the corresponding diethyl phosphorochloridite (the preparation of which is considered below). We obtained it, however, by the action of ethyl alcohol on phosphorus dichlorofluoride,... 

Diethyl phosphorofluoridite is readily hydrolysed by water. It is only feebly toxic in comparison with the corresponding phosphorofluoridate. Exposure to a concentration of 1 mg./l.
