Results of standard biodegradation tests indicate triethyl phosphite is inherently biodegradableATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), triethyl phosphite, which has a vapor pressure of 1.95 mm Hg at 20 °C(SRC), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase triethyl phosphite is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC)the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 6.6 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 5.8X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Triethyl phosphite does not absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and therefore is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC). |

| Toxizitätsübersicht | IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Triethyl phosphite is a colorless liquid with a characteristic, obnoxious phosphite odor. It is a chemical intermediate for vinyl phosphate insecticides, for phosphonate insecticidessugarcane ripener. Schedule 3B precursor to dimethyl methylphosphonate, which is a sarin precursor and nerve agent simulant. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: Human blood monocyte carboxylesterase is inhibited by triethyl phosphite. ANIMAL STUDIES: Triethyl phosphite showed slightly irritating effects on the eyes of 3 male rabbits. All animals showed slight or clearly visible conjunctival erythema in the treated eyes. Slight chemosis and increased secretion were recorded in two animals, each. The findings appeared within one hr and were completely reversible within 48 hr. Six rabbits revealed slightly irritating effects on the skin after 4 hr of semi-occlusive exposure to the undiluted triethyl phosphite. All animals showed slight or clearly visible erythema at the treated sites up to 48 hr after exposure. At day 7, slight erythema still persisted in 5 animals, but had resolved in all but one animal at day 10. None of the animals showed edema at any of the observations. An acute inhalation study was done with male and female rats. After an exposure period of 6 hours the calculated LC50 was 11.6 mg/L for males and 11.1 mg/L for females. A similar study in mice gave LC50 values of 6.2 and 9.2 mg/L for male and female animals, respectively. In both species, signs of toxic stress included eye and upper respiratory irritation, salivation and rapid, shallow breathingmost deaths occurred within 24 hr following treatment. In developmental study doses of 0, 10, 80, 320 and 640 mg/kg bw/day were used for oral administration (gavage) to rats. Groups of 12 male and female rats each were treated (control group: 15 males and 15 females). F0-Animals were treated from 2 weeks before mating to the end of gestation and up to 6 days of lactation. Males were killed after 36 to 37 days of treatment. Females and pups were killed on days 4 to 6 post partum. Ovaries, mammae, testes, epididymides and macroscopically altered tissues of F0 animals were examined histologically. Parameters of general toxicity and fertility, as well as pre- and post-natal development were recorded. In F1, the sex ratio, mortality and weights were not affected by treatment up to and including doses of 80 mg/kg bw/day, while evaluation was not possible at higher doses as there were no surviving pups. No externally malformed pups were observed. The in vivo micronucleus assay in mice was negative. There was no indication of a potential to induce gene mutations in the Ames test with four different strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537) both with and without metabolic activation. The test was performed including cytotoxic concentrations. |

| Soil Adsorption/Mobility | Adsorption to soils or suspended solids and sediment is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) due to the rapid hydrolysis of triethyl phosphite(1). |
| Human Toxicity Excerpts | /ALTERNATIVE and IN VITRO TESTS/ Human blood monocyte carboxylesterase (CBE) is inhibited by a variety of organophosphorus compounds including arylphosphates and arylphosphites and some alkylphosphites. Triphenyl phosphate and triphenyl phosphite with Ki values of 8 x 10(-9) M and 4.8 x 10(-8) M, respectively, are the most potent inhibitors of this enzyme evaluated by this study. The arylphosphates vary in their capacity to inhibit carboxylesterase activity. Diphenyl phosphate with its strong negative charge is not a potent inhibitor (Ki = 1 x 10(-4) M), whereas if its negative charge is neutralized, as in diphenyl methyl phosphate, its capacity to inhibit carboxylesterase is significantly increased. Compounds with increased bulk, such as trinaphthyl phosphate, only inhibit the enzyme at concentrations of 10(-5) M or greater. Arylphosphites have inhibitory capacities similar to the arylphosphates. Alkylphosphites (tributyl phosphite/triethyl phosphite) inhibit carboxylesterase activity, whereas alkylphosphates (tributyl phosphate/triethyl phosphate) have no inhibitory effect. Arylphosphines and arylphosphine oxides do not inhibit carboxylesterase activity. This study demonstrates that organophosphates and organophosphites are relatively effective inhibitors of human monocyte CBE activity with the exception of the alkylphosphates which have no inhibitory activity. We conclude that molecular bulk and charge have a significant role in determining the potency of organophosphorus inhibitors of monocyte CBE. The observed variations in the degree of esterase inhibition by organophosphorus compounds as well as the differences in the pathological expression of neuropathic disorders associated with such chemicals suggest that different esterase enzymes derived from the family of esterase genes may mediate the different neuropathies observed with organophosphorus exposures. Such data also provide the rationale for the kinetic analyses of esterases and the design of non-toxic organophosphorus compounds with low or no monocyte CBE inhibitory capacity to reduce the potential of these commonly used chemicals for human toxicity. |
| Artificial Pollution Sources | Triethyl phosphite's production and use an intermediate for the production of flame retardants, optical brighteners, pesticides, antioxidants, and pharmaceuticals(1,2) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC). |
| Environmental Biodegradation | AEROBIC: In 2 tests on ready biodegradation, triethyl phosphite was degraded by 49-69%, therefore, it did not reach the criteria for ready biodegradability(1). However, from the degradation curve it can be assumed that hydrolysis was the prerequisite for biodegradation(1). Using OECD Guideline 302C (Inherent Biodegradability: Modified MITI Test II) with an activated sludge inoculum, triethyl phosphite was degraded >100% based on O2 consumption and 73% based on DOC removal classifying the compound as inherently biodegradable(2)the complete disappearance of triethyl phosphite to monoethyl and diethyl phosphite and phosphorous acid in the test system is likely the result of hydrolysis followed by biodegradation(1,2). Biodegradation is not expected to be an important fate process for triethyl phosphite(SRC) due to its hydrolysis(1). |
| Environmental Bioconcentration | Bioconcentration is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) due to the rapid hydrolysis of triethyl phosphite(SRC). |
| Volatilization from Water/Soil | Volatilization from water surfaces or moist soil is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) due to the hydrolysis of triethyl phosphite(1). Triethyl phosphite is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 1.95 mm at 20 °C(1). |

Anwendungen & Verwendung
Verwenden
Triethyl phosphite is an organophosphorus compound. It is used as a reducing agent; can react with electrophiles to form phosphonates or phosphates; forms a stable complex with copper(I) iodide. Triethyl phosphite is a very good nucleophile. The carbon adjacent to the bromine is the most electrophilic position, and phosphorus is the only nucleophile. Triethyl phosphite displaces the bromine in an SN2-like process, and back attack by the bromide which is released generates a phosphonate product, in which the α-protons are strongly acidic.
Herstellung & Synthese
synthetische
Triethyl phosphite is produced in a closed system by reaction of phosphorous trichlorid and ethanol in the presence of an inorganic or organic base. The product is purified by distillation (Bayer AG, 2002a). Triethyl phosphite is exclusively used as an intermediate for the manufacturing of different products: flame retardants (about 60 %), optical brighteners (about 15 %), pesticides (about 15 %), antioxidants (about 5 %), and pharmaceuticals (about 5 %).
