CAS 88135-50-6

Phosphonochloridic acid, methyl-, 2-methylphenyl ester

Description:

Phosphonochloridic acid, methyl-, 2-methylphenyl ester, identified by CAS number 88135-50-6, is an organophosphorus compound characterized by the presence of a phosphonic acid moiety esterified with a methyl group and a 2-methylphenyl group. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with phosphonates, including potential reactivity due to the presence of the chloridic acid functional group. It is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and specific formulation. The ester functionality suggests that it may be hydrolyzed in the presence of water, releasing the corresponding alcohol and phosphonic acid. This compound may have applications in various fields, including agriculture as a pesticide or herbicide, and in the synthesis of other chemical intermediates. However, due to the presence of chlorine, it may also pose environmental and health risks, necessitating careful handling and disposal. As with all chemical substances, proper safety protocols should be followed when working with this compound.
