Triphenyl phosphite ozonide (TPPO) is a chemical compound with the formula PO3(C6H5O)3 that is used to generate singlet oxygen.[1][2]
When TPPO is mixed with amines, the ozonide breaks down into singlet oxygen and leaves behind triphenyl phosphite.[2] Pyridine is the only known amine that can effectively cause the breakdown of TPPO while not quenching any of the produced oxygen.[1][2]
Synthesis
Triphenyl phosphite ozonide is created by bubbling dry ozone through dichloromethane with triphenyl phosphite being added dropwise at -78 °C.[2] If triphenyl phosphite is added in excess in the synthesis, TPPO can be reduced to triphenyl phosphite oxide, PO(C6H5O)3, and oxygen gas.[3]
