Triphenyl phosphate is used as an internal standard in the screening and quantification of agrochemical residues in vegetables and fruits. It is used in plastic processing and molding of plastic flow and performance.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

- Reaction with a secondary alcohol in the presence of a base, e.g. quinoline, gives the diphenyl phosphate ester of the alcohol. This undergoes thermal elimination in sulfolane or NMP to provide the corresponding alkene. The method has clear advantages in terms of yield and toxicity over analogous routes to alkenes, such as the Chugaev xanthate thermolysis or heating the alcohol in HMPA: Synthesis, 1300 (1995).
