phosphite ester
on the P In organic chemistry, a phosphite ester or organophosphite usually refers to an organophosphorous compound with the formula P(OR) 3 . They can be considered as esters of an unobserved tautomer phosphorous acid, H 3 PO 3 , with the simplest example being trimethylphosphite, P(OCH 3 ) 3 . Some phosphites can be considered esters of the dominant tautomer of phosphorous acid (HP(O)(OH) 2 ). The simplest representative is dimethylphosphite with the formula HP(O)(OCH 3 ) 2 . Both classes of phosphites are usually colorless liquids.
