Phosphorous acid, cyclopentyl 1,1-dimethylethyl methyl ester

Description:

Phosphorous acid, cyclopentyl 1,1-dimethylethyl methyl ester, with the CAS number 88053-16-1, is an organophosphorus compound characterized by the presence of a phosphorous acid moiety esterified with a cyclopentyl group and a branched alkyl group. This compound typically exhibits properties common to esters, such as being a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is generally soluble in organic solvents but may have limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl groups. The presence of the phosphorous atom suggests potential applications in agriculture, particularly as a precursor for phosphonate-based herbicides or fungicides. Additionally, the structure may impart specific reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as organophosphorus compounds can exhibit toxicity depending on their structure and functional groups. Overall, this compound represents a unique class of chemicals with potential utility in both industrial and agricultural applications.
