Understanding the Chemical Properties of Hydroxylamine Phosphate: A Deep Dive
Hydroxylamine Phosphate (CAS 20845-01-6) is a chemical compound whose utility is deeply rooted in its unique chemical properties. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. delves into these characteristics to ensure optimal application and handling of this versatile material. With a molecular formula of H12N3O7P and a molecular weight of 197.08 g/mol, it presents as a white powder, offering a stable form of hydroxylamine, which itself can be unstable.
The compound's reactivity is multifaceted. It serves as a potent nucleophile, particularly reacting via its oxygen atom due to the alpha-effect, which enhances its nucleophilicity. This characteristic is vital in its interactions with phosphate esters, where it can participate in various reaction mechanisms, including Sₙ2(P) pathways and the formation of intermediates. Furthermore, Hydroxylamine Phosphate acts as a reducing agent, playing a key role in redox cycling, especially in advanced oxidation processes where it facilitates the generation of reactive oxygen species like hydroxyl radicals.
Stability considerations are paramount when working with Hydroxylamine Phosphate. While generally stable when stored properly, it is sensitive to pH and temperature. Decomposition can be accelerated by acidic or alkaline conditions, and high temperatures. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. recommends specific storage conditions and handling procedures to maintain product integrity and performance. Understanding these chemical properties allows for its safe and effective application in diverse industrial and research settings, from the large-scale production of caprolactam to sophisticated environmental remediation technologies.
