Triethyl Phosphate(TEP) /Chemical Cas: 78-40-0

 APPLICATION :

 Colorless,easy fluid transparent liquid,has slight fruit odor.Melting point-54.6°C,boiling point:215.26°

C,Relative density1.068,Index of refraction 1.4055/20°C,Saturated vapor pressure: 0.13kPa/39°

C,Viscosity:1.6cp.Immiscible in water, a slight decomposition. Immiscible in alcohol, ether and other

 organic solvents, insoluble in petroleum ether.

Chemical property:

Stable at room temperature, heating slowly hydrolyzed to generate diethyl phosphate. In Triethyl

phosphate which leads to hydrogen chloride to produce ethylene oxide, phosphate ester, phosphate

ester with phenyl magnesium bromide in ether - toluene mixture boiling liquid, the resulting phenyl

diethyl phosphate and diethyl phosphonic acid with butanol and a small amount of alcohol when boiled

with sodium, a phosphoric acid diethyl ester, phosphoric acid diethyl ester, ether, and the small

butoxide, etc.and then boiled with dilute sodium hydroxide solution sufficient to produce diethyl aniline

with morpholine heated to 157-159 °C, to generate 4 - ethyl morpholine.
