Abstract

Batch-wise esterification of phosphorus trichloride with different alcohols in the absence of base and cleavage of the reaction products by the HCl released in course of the reaction were reinvestigated. The role of the kind of alcohol, mixing order of reagents, temperature, time of reaction, and excursion of gaseous HCl in the proportional composition of the reaction products were studied. Considering the mechanism of esterification and cleavage ...
