Abstract

Intermediate states of degradation of phosphorus pentoxide in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), also known as Onodera reagent, are studied. We found that DMSO is not dissolving P₄O₁₀, but rather reacting with it. A rather complex mixture of phosphate species is formed, many with ester functions. Several not yet described phosphate species could be identified by NMR and MS. Finally, we present a possible decomposition scheme of P₄O₁₀ in DMSO.
