Chemical Properties
Diphosphoryl chloride is a colorless liquid that produces smoke upon exposure to air and reacts violently with water. At temperatures as low as -30°C, it can react with water to form dichlorophosphoric acid (HPO2C12). The compound is soluble in a variety of solvents, including phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus oxychloride, thionyl chloride, benzene, other hydrocarbons, ether, and nitrobenzene.
Uses
Pyrophosphoryl chloride serves as a reductive chlorination reagent used in the synthesis of quetiapine. It acts as a phosphorylating agent involved in nucleoside synthesis. It plays an important role in Vilsmeier formylation and glyoxylation reactions.
