PHOSPHORIC ACI DI-T-BUTYL EXTER CHLOROMETHYL ESTER

China [CN]

Structural Characteristics

The molecule contains a phosphate structure, with two ester groups being tert-butyloxy (-O-tBu) and a chloromethyl (-CH₂Cl) substituent. It is an organophosphate derivative, and the presence of the chloromethyl group imparts high reactivity.

Physical and Chemical Properties

It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with moderate volatility. It is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane, ether, and toluene, but insoluble in water. Specific data such as its boiling point and density are not yet fully disclosed and require experimental determination.

Chemical Reactivity

The chlorine atom in the chloromethyl group readily undergoes nucleophilic substitution reactions. It can be displaced by nucleophiles such as alcoholic hydroxyl groups, amine groups, and thiol groups to form corresponding phosphate derivatives such as ethers, amines, and thioethers. It is an important intermediate for introducing phosphate groups in organic synthesis.
