Is this compound found in the human body?
If so where? What does it do?

That's not a single compound, the R groups are variable.
There are organophosphates in the human body, ATP is an example

Thank you. I think this compound undergoes addition-elimination. The compound I've drawn is an intermediate which then eliminates to form a phosphate ion and an alcohol....I think.

Organophosphates do undergo addition-elimination
What you've drawn is the ''product'' of an organophosphates reaction with water:(RO)3P=O + H2O ---> (RO)3P(OH)2
it's only an addition up to this point
