Phosphoryl dichloride fluoride


Phosphoryl dichloride fluoride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula.

Synthesis

It is made by reacting phosphorus pentachloride with potassium monofluorophosphate:

Reactions

The reaction with two equivalents of cyclohexanol yields the nerve agent dicyclohexyl phosphorofluoridate.
The same reaction with isopropanol instead of cyclohexanol yields the nerve agent diisopropyl fluorophosphate.
Two equivalents of sodium azide can replace the chlorine atoms with azide groups. Silver cyanate can replace them with cyanate groups. Hexamethyldisiloxane can replace one of the two chlorine atoms with a trimethylsilyl ether.
