Phosphorochloridite (original) (raw)
In chemistry, phosphorochloridites are a class of organophosphorus compound with the formula (RO)2PCl (R = organic substituent). They are pyramidal in shape, akin to regular phosphites (P(OR)3). They are usually colorless and sensitive toward hydrolysis and, to some extent, oxidation to the corresponding phosphorochloridates ((RO)2P(O)Cl).
