Dibutyl 3-hydroxybutyl phosphate (TBP-OH; ) is a compound produced from the metabolism of the organophosphorus solvent, tributyl phosphate (TBP). Incubation of goldfish liver microsomes in the presence of NADPH has been shown to convert TBP into TBP-OH and dibutyl phosphate.¹ TBP-OH has also been produced during radiolysis of TBP.² (S)-TBP-OH is an optically active isomer of TBP-OH.
