Tetraethyl (1,8-octylene)bisphosphonate

Description:
Tetraethyl (1,8-octylene)bisphosphonate, with the CAS number 5943-61-3, is an organophosphorus compound characterized by its bisphosphonate structure, which features two phosphonate groups attached to a central carbon chain. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. The presence of the octylene chain contributes to its hydrophobic properties, influencing its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. Tetraethyl (1,8-octylene)bisphosphonate is often studied for its potential applications in agriculture as a pesticide or herbicide, as well as in medicinal chemistry for its ability to inhibit certain enzymes. Its phosphonate groups can form stable complexes with metal ions, making it of interest in coordination chemistry. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as organophosphorus compounds can exhibit toxicity and require proper storage and disposal methods.
