The synthesis of  tricresyl phosphate is a complex technology that requires multi-step chemical reactions and purification processes. There are two main preparation methods: one is to use the methylating agent methyl potassium iodide and trimethylol sodium salt to react in an organic solvent, and then obtain the product through steps such as hydrolysis, neutralization, and extraction; the other is to use trimethylbenzene. As a raw material, T306A tricresyl phosphate is obtained through oxidation reaction and esterification reaction.
