Autoignition =Triphosgene (Bis(trichloromethyl) carbonate, C3Cl6O3) is a chemical compound that is used as a substitute for
phosgene , because at room temperature it is a solid crystal, as opposed to phosgene which is a gas. Triphosgene crystals decompose at around 130 °C, although, the decomposition temperature of impure samples can be much lower. Triphosgene is used in organic synthesis to bond one carbonyl group to two alcohols, as in the synthesis ofoctalactin B .ee also
