CAS 4724-48-5: Octylphosphonic acid

n-Octylphosphonic acid, min. 97% OPA

1-Octylphosphonic acid is a basic building block and used in the preparation of various pharmaceutical compounds and chemical products. It is supported with calcium hydroxyapatite and used in the dental field as corrosion inhibitor and organic building block. It acts as a corrosion inhibitor in metallic household surfaces such as faucets and drains as well as prevents the rusting of can or dispenser. It is also used in the synthesis of octyl-phosphonic acid dimethyl ester by reacting with iodomethane in presence of CS2 CO3. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

N-Octylphosphonic acid is a solid, nitrogen containing compound that is insoluble in water. It has a high resistance to heat and chemical stability. N-Octylphosphonic acid can be synthesized from sodium salts, particle, nitrogen atoms, magnetic particles and fatty acids. The synthesis of this compound can be achieved through titration calorimetry and chemical stability. FTIR spectroscopy can be used for the identification of methyl ethyl, hydrochloric acid, carbonyl group and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy can be used to identify inorganic acids in this compound.

N-Octylphosphonic acid is a fatty acid ester that belongs to the group of alkylphosphonic acids. It has been shown to be an excellent surfactant due to its high hydrophilicity and low interfacial tension. N-Octylphosphonic acid is a white, crystalline powder with a melting point of 40-45 degrees Celsius. It can be synthesized by methods such as decarboxylation of the corresponding carboxylic acid or by reacting sodium salts with fatty acids in supercritical carbon dioxide, followed by hydrolysis with hydrochloric acid. This product also shows magnetic properties due to the presence of magnetic particles.
