Dimethyl methylphosphonate

Eyrol 51 is a water-soluble Hquid containing about 21% phosphoms. It is made by a multistep process from dimethyl methylphosphonate, phosphoms pentoxide, and ethylene oxide. The end groups are principally primary hydroxyl and the compound can thus be incorporated chemically into aminoplasts, phenoHc resins, and polyurethanes. Eyrol 51, or 58 if diluted with a small amount of isopropanol, is used along with amino resins to produce a flame-retardant resin finish on paper used for automotive air filters, or for backcoating of upholstery fabric to pass the British or California flammabiHty standards. 

Oligomeric Vinylphosphonate. A water-soluble oligomer, Fyrol 76 [41222-33-7] is produced by reaction of bis(2-chloroethyl) vinylphosphonate and dimethyl methylphosphonate with elimination of all the chlorine as methyl chloride (127,128). This Hquid, containing 22.5% P, is curable by free-radical initiation, on cotton or other fabrics. Nitrogen components, such as A/-methylolacrylamide or methylolmelamines, are usually included in the finish, which can be durable to multiple launderings (129,130). 

Ironically, the reactor was used to produce Antiblaze 19, a flame retardant used in textiles and polyurethane foam. Antiblaze 19 is a cyclic phosphorate ester produced from a mixture of trimethyl phosphite, dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP), and trimethyl phosphate (TMOP). The final product is not considered flammable, but trimethyl phosphite is moisture sensitive and flammable, with a flash point of about 27 C.

Nolan and co-workers have extended the scope of transesterification reactions to include phosphonate esters as phosphorylating agents [137]. In this publication the authors use dimethyl methylphosphonate 273 and benzyl alcohol with a variety of imidazolylidene carbenes (Table 23). The nse of molecnlar sieves to absorb methanol leads to increased conversion however, longer reaction times lead to decreased... 

Toxicology. Dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) administered to male rats is a reproductive toxicant and carcinogen. Effects in humans are unknown. 

DMMP was not mutagenic in Salmonella assays. An ACGIH threshold limit value (TLV) has not been established for dimethyl methylphosphonate.

NMR has been used to study ligand exchange in non-coordinating solvents for a series of Be(C104)2-4L (L = trimethyl phosphate, DMSO, DMA, DMF, NMA, 1,1,3,3-tetramethylurea, dimethyl methylphosphonate and dimethyl phenylphosphonate) complexes. 3H NMR studies show that the mode of activation for exchange on beryllium varies from dissociative to associative depending upon L and the nature of the non-coordinating solvent.127 128...
