Trimethyl phosphate

The above is a general procedure for preparing trialkyl orthophosphates. Similar yields are obtained for trimethyl phosphate, b.p. 62°/5 mm. triethyl phosphate, b.p. 75-5°/5 mm. tri-n-propyl phosphate, b.p. 107-5°/5 mm. tri-Mo-propyl phosphate, b.p. 83-5°/5 mm. tri-wo-butyl phosphate, b.p. 117°/5-5 mm. and tri- -amyl phosphate, b.p. 167-5°/5 mm. The alkyl phosphates are excellent alkylating agents for primary aromatic amines (see Section IV,41) they can also be ua for alkylating phenols (compare Sections IV,104-105). Trimethyl phosphate also finds application as a methylating agent for aliphatie alcohols (compare Section 111,58). 

Vapor-Phase Mechanisms. Phosphoms flame retardants can also exert vapor-phase flame-retardant action. Trimethyl phosphate [512-56-1] C H O P, retards the velocity of a methane—oxygen flame with about the same molar efficiency as antimony trichloride (30,31). Both physical and chemical vapor-phase mechanisms have been proposed for the flame-retardant action of certain phosphoms compounds. Physical (endothermic) modes of action have been shown to be of dominant importance in the flame-retardant action of a wide range of non-phosphoms-containing volatile compounds (32). 

In order to obtain a sufficient rate of cure at moulding temperatures it is usual to add about 0.2-2.0% of a hardener (accelerator). This functions by decomposing at moulding temperatures to give an acidic body that will accelerate the cure rate. A very large number of such latent acid catalysts have been described in the literature, of which some of the more prominent are ammonium sulphamate, ammonium phenoxyacetate, ethylene sulphite and trimethyl phosphate. 

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.

Bromo-Ar,Ar-dimethyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline has been prepared by the methylation of 4-bromo-3-(trifhioromethvl)aniline with trimethyl phosphate in 70-80% yield.3 The present method, which effectively uses 3-(trifluoroinethyl)aniline as starting material, offers advantages in cost, yield, and ease of purification. 

A PEIT of 50/50 (molar ratio) composition is synthesized by a two-step reaction sequence as follows. In the first step, 97.10 g (0.5 mol) dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), 97.10 g (0.5 mol) dimethyl isophthalate (DMI), 136.55 g (2.2 mol) 1,2-ethanediol, and zinc acetate dihydrate ester interchange catalyst (2.7 x 10 4% mass of the total amount of DMI and DMT mixture) are weighed into a threenecked flask fitted with a mechanical stirrer, a nitrogen inlet, and a condenser. The medium is stirred for 2.0-2.5 h at 180-210°C under nitrogen. Ninety-two percent of the theoretical amount of methanol is removed by distillation. In the second step, antimony acetate polycondensation catalyst and trimethyl phosphate thermal stabilizer (9.9 x 10-4 and 1.5 x 10 3% mass of the total amount of DMI... 

The residue of a distillation of trimethyl phosphate that was carried out on a large scale detonated violently. No explanation could be given. 

For species 11 we will use the intrinsic barrier for hydroxide addition to trimethyl phosphate, G = 19 (calculated using rate and equilibrium data from reference 100) and assume the same value for the attack of hydroxide at sulfur on dimethyl sulfate. This (nonobservable) rate will be estimated using a Brpnsted type plot from the rate constants for diaryl sulfates (diphenyl sulfate,and bis p-nitrophenyl sulfate), estimated from the rate for phenyl dinitrophenyl sulfate,assuming equal contributions for the two nitro groups. This gives ftg = 0.95, and thus for dimethyl sulfate log k = 11.3...

The residue from a large scale atmospheric pressure distillation of trimethyl phosphate exploded violently. This was attributed to rapid decomposition of the ester, catalysed by the acidic degradation products, with evolution of gaseous hydrocarbons. It is recommended that only small batches of alkyl phosphates should be vacuum distilled and in presence of magnesium oxide to neutralise any acid by-products, and to suppress the acid catalysed reaction. 

A large number of reagents are available for the preparation of nitro PAHs. These include fuming nitric acid in acetic acid (20) or acetic anhydride (13), sodium nitrate in trifluoroacetic acid (21) or trifluoroacetic acid and acetic anhydride (17), dinitrogen tetroxide in carbon tetrachloride (22), sodium nitrate in trimethyl phosphate and phosphorus pentoxide (23), and nitronium tetrafluoroborate in anhydrous acetonitrile (24). Alternative approaches must be used to synthesize nitro PAHs substituted at positions other than the most reactive carbon. For instance,...

To [Co(en)2((S)-GluOBzl)]I2 (5.0 g, 7.3 X 10 3 mol) in dry trimethyl-phosphate (18 ml, 4A sieves) contained in a conical flask equipped with a drying tube was added methyl trifluoromethane sulfonate (8.0 g, 4.9 x 10 2 mol) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min (Caution The alkylating agent is believed to be extremely toxic. Use a hood and avoid skin and vapor contact). The deep orange solution was then slowly poured into rapidly stirred dry ether (600 ml) and the precipitated semisolid recovered by decantation. The residue was dissolved in the minimum volume of dry methanol (10-20 ml), the product reprecipitated using further dry ether (400 ml), and the solid recovered as before. A further precipitation using methanol (10-20 ml) and dry ether (800 ml) produced the complex as a finely divided solid. This was recovered by filtration (porosity 4 sin-...
