General description
Dibutyl phosphate, also known as Phosphoric acid dibutyl ester, is an organophosphate compound with a long alkyl chain that is commonly used as an organocatalyst for polymer synthesis via ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters and to catalyzed transesterification reactions.
Application
Dibutyl phosphate can be used as a reactant to synthesize:
- Glycosyl phosphates by using 1,2-orthoesters.
- 2-Aminophosphatesvia catalyst-free regioselective and enantiospecific SN2-type ring opening reaction with aziridines.
Features and Benefits
- Inherently biodegradable
- Stable in neutral, acidic, or alkaline solutions

The fluorescence of Tb(3+) is sensitized by complexation with dibutylphosphate (DBP) and tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP). The excitation maximum for the Tb(3+)-DBP complex occurs at 218.5 nm, while that for the Tb(3+)-TBP complex is observed at 228.0 nm. Both complexes yield Tb(3+)

Organophosphate compounds are known to cause a selective increase of beta-glucuronidase activity in rat serum. Previous data suggested that increase of serum beta-glucuronidase activity was well correlated with decrease of that activity in rat liver microsomal fraction, thereby, suggesting a
