Secondary antioxidants
Triphenyl phosphite is called for short TPP, it is also known as triphenoxytitanium phosphine, it is phosphite-based compound, it is a secondary antioxidant, it has light stabilizing effect, it is applicable to polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polystyrene, poly acetate, ABS resin, epoxy resin and the like. Triphenyl phosphite is widely used as polyvinyl chloride chelating agent, when the metal soap is used as stabilizer, coordinating with this product can reduce the harm of the metal chlorides, it can keep transparency of product and inhibit the change in color. Further triphenyl phosphate is also used as flame retardant plasticizer.
Phosphite phenyl diisooctyl can be obtained by the transesterification reaction of triphenyl phosphite and isooctanol in the presence of catalyst, phosphite phenyl diisooctyl can be used as secondary antioxidant. It has good resistance to discoloration, it can increase oxidation resistance and light stability. It has chelating action in PVC, low toxicity, it can be used in plastic medical devices.
In addition, this product in the presence of sodium methoxide can proceed the transesterification reaction with methanol to form trimethyl phosphite.
Triphenyl phosphite is as raw material, it can react with octanol in the solution of sodium methoxide, octyl diphenyl phosphite can be prepared.

Uses
Triphenyl phosphite (TPP) is the chemical compound with the formula P(OC6H5)3. This colourless viscous liquid is the ester of phosphorous acid and phenol. It is used as a ligand in organometallic chemistry. Nickel complexes of this ligand are homogeneous catalysts for the hydrocyanation of alkenes.
Production methods
It can be obtained from phenol and phosphorus trichloride. Raw material consumption (kg/t) phenol (freezing point ≥40.4 ℃) 940 phosphorus trichloride (99%) 480
Toxic Effects
The primary toxic effects of triphenyl phosphite are exerted on the nervous system of susceptible animals. The univeral signs of triphenyl phosphite neurotoxicity result from the irreversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) at cholinergic synapses in the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous system. Triphenyl phosphite is also capable of producing characteristic delayed neurotoxic effects that are manifested several days or weeks after even minimal drug exposure. Such actions are not related to AChE inhibition and the precise biochemical mechanism(s) leading to the delayed neurotoxicity symptoms are largely unresolved.
Chemical Properties
Water-white to pale-yellow solid or oily
liquid; pleasant odor. Combustible.
Uses
Triphenyl phosphite can be used:
- As a source of phosphorus and as a ligand for the synthesis of transition metal phosphide nanoparticles via heating-up process.
- To convert alcohols to alkyl halides.
- As a peptide coupling agent.
- As a low-temperature source of singlet oxygen after forming an adduct with ozone.
- To synthesize bromotriphenoxyphosphonium bromide, a brominating agent, by reacting with bromine.
Uses
Stabilizer/antioxidant for vinyl plastics
and polyethylene, polypropylene, styrene
copolymers, and rubber.
Uses

Reactivity Profile
Organophosphates, such as Triphenyl phosphite, are susceptible to formation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Partial oxidation by oxidizing agents may result in the release of toxic phosphorus oxides.
Health Hazard
