Does POCl3 react with hydrogen peroxide?What could be the  possible products of this interaction?

Regards,

POCl3 is a pretty wicked electrophile.  It will reaction with anything moderately nucleophilic.

I have seen so many questions about POCl3 in this forum. Movies should give a general lecture about it.

I have not seen anything on the direct reaction of hydrogen peroxide with POCl3 but considering the fact that H2O2 has some H2O impurity a reaction between H2O and POCl3 can be assumed.

I think Arsenic's reaction might cause more H2O2 to break down, because not only water is consumed, but also this reaction is exothermic.
