with the formula HP(O)(OCH3)2. Both classes of phosphites are usually colorless liquids. From PCl3 Phosphite esters are typically prepared by treating phosphorus

which has a similar structure. Acid or hydrogen phosphites are called hydrogenphosphonates or acid phosphites. IUPAC recommends the name hydrogenphosphonates)

Trimethyl phosphite is an organophosphorus compound with the formula P(OCH3)3, often abbreviated P(OMe)3. It is a colorless liquid with a highly pungent

white solids that consist of salts of the phosphite anion H2PO3−, the conjugate base of phosphorous acid. Phosphites of potassium are used as fungicides (in

is an important industrial chemical, being used for the manufacture of phosphites and other organophosphorus compounds. It is toxic and reacts readily with

intermediates are occasionally stable enough to be isolated, such as for triaryl phosphites which do not react to form the phosphonate without thermal cleavage of

The oxalate phosphites are chemical compounds containing oxalate and phosphite anions. They are also called oxalatophosphites or phosphite oxalates. Oxalate

polymers, especially polyvinylchloride. Other lead phosphites are known, including normal lead phosphite, PbHPO3, although the basic salt is especially effective

but by deprotonation not alkylation.[citation needed] Phosphites, sometimes called phosphite esters, have the general structure P(OR)3 with oxidation
