Diphosgene converts to phosgene upon heating or upon ] with ]. It is thus useful for reactions traditionally relying on phosgene. For example, it convert ]s into ]s, secondary amines into ] chlorides, ]s into ]s, and ]s into ]s. Diphosgene serves as a source of two equivalents of phosgene: Diphosgene converts to phosgene upon heating or upon ] with ]. It is thus useful for reactions traditionally relying on phosgene.
