General description
Dibutyl phosphate, also known as Phosphoric acid dibutyl ester, is an organophosphate compound with a long alkyl chain that is commonly used as an organocatalyst for polymer synthesis via ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters and to catalyzed transesterification reactions.
Application
Dibutyl phosphate can be used as a reactant to synthesize:
- Glycosyl phosphates by using 1,2-orthoesters.
- 2-Aminophosphatesvia catalyst-free regioselective and enantiospecific SN2-type ring opening reaction with aziridines.
Features and Benefits
- Inherently biodegradable
- Stable in neutral, acidic, or alkaline solutions
