[General Description]

A colorless fuming liquid with a pungent odor. Density 14.0 lb/gal. Very toxic by inhalation and corrosive to metals and tissue. Used in gasoline additives and hydraulic fluids.
[Reactivity Profile]

PHOSPHORUS OXYCHLORIDE is water reactive. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, alcohols, bases (including amines). May react vigorously or explosively if mixed with diisopropyl ether or other ethers in the presence of trace amounts of metal salts [J. Haz. Mat., 1981, 4, 291]. Combining the chloride with zinc dust caused immediate ignition, due to the formation of phosphine gas which ignites, [Mellor, 1940, Vol. 8, 1025]. An exotherm starting with the mixing of phosphorus oxychloride with acetone (a ketone) lead to an explosion, may behave similarly with other ketones, [Organic Process Research and Development, Vol.4, No. 6,200, "Phosphorus Oxychloride and Acetone: An Incompatibility Investigation Using ARC."]

[Physical properties]

Colorless fuming liquid with a pungent odor; density 1.645 g/mL; freezes at 1°C; boils at 105.5°C; reacts with water and ethanol.
[Uses]

In the manufacture of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, plasticizers, gasoline additives, and hydraulic fluid.
[Uses]

Phosphorus oxychloride is an important intermediate in the production of triarylphosphate esters (e.g., triphenyl phosphate and tricresyl phosphate), which have been used as flame retardants and plasticizers for PVC. It is acutely toxic to the eyes, throat, and respiratory tract. Phosphorus oxychloride is also used in nuclear reprocessing, as chlorinating agent, especially to replace oxygen in organic compounds, as solvent in cryoscopy and the semiconductor industry.
[Uses]

Phosphorus oxychloride is used to produce hydraulic fluids, plasticizers, and fireretarding agents; as a chlorinating agent; and as a solvent in cryoscopy.
[Definition]

A white crystalline solid. It is a monobasic acid forming the anion H2PO2 – in water. The sodium salt, and hence the acid, can be prepared by heating yellow phosphorus with sodium hydroxide solution. The free acid and its salts are powerful reducing agents.
[Preparation]

Phosphorus oxychloride can be prepared from phosphorus trichloride or phosphorus pentachloride. It can be obtained from phosphorus trichloride by cautious addition of potassium chlorate:
3PCl3 + KClO3 → 3POCl3 + KCl
The oxychloride also is obtained by the action of boric acid or oxalic acid with phosphorus pentachloride:
3PCl5 + 2B(OH)3 → 3POCl3 + B2O3 + 6HCl
PCl5 + (COOH)2 → POCl3 + CO + CO2 + 2HCl
Phosphorus oxychloride also is made by heating calcium phosphate in a current of chlorine and carbon monoxide at 350°C:
2Ca3(PO42 + 9Cl2 + 6CO → 4POCl3 + 6CaCO3
Alternatively, heating a mixture of calcium phosphate and carbon in a current of chlorine at 750°C yields the oxychloride.
[Hazard]

The compound is highly irritating to skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Inhaling its vapors can cause pulmonary edema.
[Purification Methods]

Distil the liquid under reduced pressure to separate it from the bulk of the HCl and the phosphoric acid (from hydrolysis); the middle fraction is re-distilled into ampoules containing a little purified mercury. These ampoules are sealed and stored in the dark for 4-6weeks with occasional shaking to facilitate reaction of any free chloride with the mercury. The POCl3 is then again fractionally distilled and stored in sealed ampoules in the dark until required [Herber J Am Chem Soc 82 792 1960]. Lewis and Sowerby [J Chem Soc 336 1957] refluxed their distilled POCl3 with Na wire for 4hours, then removed the Na and again distilled. Use Na only with almost pure POCl3 to avoid explosions. HARMFUL VAPOURS; work in an efficient fume cupboard.
Questions And AnswerBack Directory
[Chemical Characteristics]

Phosphorus oxychloride (chemical formula: POCl3), is a type of industrial raw material. It is a colorless and transparent liquid, and it has an unpleasant irritating odor. It will smoke intensely in humid air. Its relative density is 1.68, melting point is 1.25℃, boiling point is 105.1℃. It breaks down into phosphoric acid and hydrogen chloride in water and ethanol. When suddenly combined with a large amount of water, an intense reaction may occur. POCl3 reacts with water and alcohol to create phosphoric acid or phosphate. If alcohol replaces the water in the reaction, the end product will be trialkyl phosphate. This type of reaction often occurs in pyridine or ammonia, as it absorbs the produced HCl to stimulate the reaction. When catalyzed by a Lewis acid such as manganese chloride, POCl3 and a large amount of phenol (ArOH) heats to produce triaryl phosphate, such as in the reaction below: 3 C6H5OH + O=PCl3 → O=P(OC6H5)3 + 3 HCl. Phosphorus oxychloride is a Lewis base, and it produces compounds with many Lewis acids, such as in its reaction with titanium tetrachloride: Cl3P5+O− + TiCl4 → Cl3P5+O-−TiCl4. Its adduct with aluminum chloride (POCl3•AlCl3) is very stable, and thus POCl3 is used to remove the AlCl3 in the end products of Friedel-Crafts reactions. In the presence of AlCl3, POCl3 reacts with hydrogen bromide to create POBr3.
[Usage]

Phosphorus oxychloride can be used as a semiconductor dopant, and it is a raw material for light-conducting fibers. It is widely used in pesticides, pharmaceuticals, dyes, phosphates and flame retardant production. It is a raw material for producing organic phosphorus herbicide and chlordimeform, and it is a plasticizer in plastic production. Phosphorus oxychloride is also used in the chlorination of long-acting sulfa drugs, is an intermediate in dye production and a catalyst in organic synthesis of chlorinating agents, and it is an extracting agent in uranium mining. It is also used in producing pharmaceuticals.
[Toxicology]

Toxicity is similar to phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus pentachloride and phosgene. Large mice, oral, LD50: 380 mg/kg; inhaled, LC50: 32 ppm/4H. Acute poisoning in small mice results in restlessness, upper respiratory tract and conjunctival irritation, depression, convulsions, unsteady walking, lying on the side, and eventually, death. For large mice, in addition to the symptoms above, also exhibited tearing, cornea clouding, and pulmonary edema. Subacute and chronic toxicity: large mice, inhaled for 60 days at a concentration of 33.5mg/m3, exhibited slowed weight gain, skin ulcers, decreases survival rates in lung macrophages, no liver and kidney functions, and organ characteristic changes.
