CAS 957-13-1: Hexamethoxyphosphazine

Hexamethoxyphosphazene is an organic solvent that is used in the production of other chemicals. Hexamethoxyphosphazene has been found to have a constant boiling point and stable crystal form, making it a good solvent for use in organic synthesis. Hexamethoxyphosphazene is also relatively inexpensive as an organic solvent. The alkynyl group on the hexamethoxyphosphazene molecule allows it to be used as a polar solvent, which makes it useful for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) studies. The reaction of hexamethoxyphosphazene with hydrogen fluoride produces methyl ethyl phosphite, which is used in microcapsules for the preservation of food products. Hexamethoxyphosphazene has been shown to react with alkaline solutions to produce phosphites, which are inorganic compounds that are stable at high temperatures.
