Synonyms: Bis(trichloromethyl) carbonate,
CAS Number: 32315-10-9
REACH registration nr.: 01-2120973039-47-0000
Triphosgene is a chemical compound primarily used as a safer and more efficient alternative to phosgene in various industrial processes. It is a solid compound that readily decomposes to release phosgene gas when heated.
Triphosgene is particularly valued for its use in organic synthesis, where it serves as a reagent for the introduction of the carbonyl group in various reactions, such as the synthesis of carbamates, isocyanates, and carbonates.
Triphosgene finds application in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for the synthesis of intermediate compounds.
Triphosgene is used in a variety of halogenation reactions.
Due to its stability in solid form up to 200 °C and controlled release of phosgene gas, triphosgene offers enhanced safety and ease of handling compared to phosgene gas, which is highly toxic and hazardous.
Safety instructions: Triphosgene is classified in ADR class 6.1 (toxic substances) and has to be transported and handled accordingly. UN number 2928
