• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Diisopropyl phosphite is a pyrimidine compound that is used in organic synthesis. It is an intermediate in the asymmetric synthesis of various pyridines. Diisopropyl phosphite reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydroxybenzoic acid and hydrogen gas. The first step in the reaction mechanism involves a palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction between diisopropyl phosphite and methyl iodide, which leads to the formation of a tetrahydrofuran ring system. Such reactions are generally carried out at low temperatures to minimize decomposition of diisopropyl phosphite. Diisopropyl phosphite has been shown to be chemically stable, but has low bioavailability due to its high reactivity with biological molecules such as proteins and lipids.
