Compound Q&A
How is Trihexyl phosphate (CAS: 2528-39-4) typically synthesized?
Answer
Trihexyl phosphate (CAS: 2528-39-4) is typically synthesized by esterification of phosphate with hexanol in the presence of sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The reaction involves the conversion of hexanol to hexyl phosphate, which is then further esterified to form the trihexyl phosphate. The yield is around 85-95%, with high selectivity to the desired product.
