Description
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.
