“…Until now, the preparation of alkyl phosphates has been mainly focused on low‐carbon alkyl phosphates (Clarke and Lyons, ; Davis, ; Du and Zhou, ; Hansell and Faulkner, ; He et al, ; Jiang, ; Lee, ; Li et al, ; Obata and Mukaiyama, ; Okabe et al, ; Okamato, ; Qiang et al, ; Ren et al, ; Thilo and Sauer, ; Wang, ; Wu et al, ; Xia et al, ; Ye and Yan, ), and little attention has been paid to the preparation of alkyl phosphates with alkyl chain length above 18, since the reactions between high‐carbon alcohols and phosphorylating reagents are difficult without solvents to obtain the high‐carbon alkyl phosphates. He et al () prepared octadecyl phosphates by means of removing water from azeotropic solvents, and Xu et al () adopted the method of adding solvent to synthesize the high‐carbon alkyl phosphates from C18 to C22.…”
