Metaphosphoryl chloride

The heat of hydrolysis with water is 74-7 Cals.2 If much water is used the products are orthophosphoric and hydrochloric acids, but when the compound deliquesces in moist air pyrophosphoryl and metaphosphoryl chlorides [q.v.) are formed as intermediate products.3 It is also hydrolysed by hydroxylated organic compounds and is much used for preparing chlorinated derivatives, e.g. C2H5C1 and CH3COCl from C2H5OH and CH3COONa respectively. By this means also alkyl chlorophosphates and alkyl phosphates can be prepared, e.g. —... 

Metaphosphoryl Chloride, P02C1, was prepared by heating P205 with POCl3 in a sealed tube at 200° C. for 36 hours, thus... 

Phosphorous oxide ignites spontaneously in chlorine, burning with a greenish flame and forming a clear liquid which on distillation yielded phosphoryl trichloride and a residue of metaphosphoryl chloride —...
