An efficient and mild method for the direct phosphorylation of phenols, alcohols, and amines with P(O)–H has been reported by LiI/TBHP mediated oxidative cross-coupling reaction. Moreover, this protocol extended to β-keto esters for the synthesis of enol phosphates using H-phosphonates. Notably, this developed method applied for the synthesis of organopesticides such as paraoxon, cyanophos, and methyl parathion. The key features of this protocol are mild conditions, short reaction time, good functional group tolerance, and broad substrate scope.

This invention relates to the technology of ecotoxicants treatment, mainly chemical weapons (toxin agents), pesticides, hydrolysis products of toxin agents and pesticides. The method provides destruction of toxin agents, pesticides or their hydrolysates with further biodegradation of received products and can used for a wide range of ecotoxicants. The method can also be applied for cleaning of soils and objects contaminated with toxin agents and pesticides. In the claimed embodiments of the method, an amino acid reagent is used as a reagent for chemical neutralization of toxin agents, pesticides or their hydrolysates. Neutralization of ecotoxicants toxicity is carried out by application of a reagent containing an amino acid or a mixture of amino acids or peptides or derivatives of amino acids and peptides or their mixture in aqueous or aqueous organic medium. As the reagent hydrolysis products of protein containing factory waste can also be applied.

Phosphorothioate esters are sometimes used as surrogates for phosphate ester substrates in studies of enzymatic phosphoryl transfer reactions. To gain better understanding of the comparative inherent chemistry of the two types of esters, we have measured equilibrium and kinetic isotope effects for several phosphorothioate esters of p-nitrophenol (pNPPT) and compared the results with data from phosphate esters. The primary 18O isotope effect at the phenolic group (18kbridge), the secondary nitrogen-15 isotope effect (15k) in the nitro group, and (for the monoester and diester) the secondary oxygen-18 isotope effect (18knonbridge) in the phosphoryl oxygens were measured. The equilibrium isotope effect (EIE) 18knonbridge for the deprotonation of the monoanion of pNPPT is 1.015 ± 0.002, very similar to values previously reported for phosphate monoesters. The EIEs for complexation of Zn2+ and Cd2+ with the dianion pNPPT2- were both unity. The mechanism of the aqueous hydrolysis of the monoanion and dianion of pNPPT, the diester ethyl pNPPT, and the triester dimethyl pNPPT was probed using heavy atom kinetic isotope effects. The results were compared with the data reported for analogous phosphate monoester, diester, and triester reactions. The results suggest that leaving group bond fission in the transition state of reactions of the monoester pNPPT is more advanced than for its phosphate counterpart pNPP, while alkaline hydrolysis of the phosphorothioate diester and triester exhibits somewhat less advanced bond fission than that of their phosphate ester counterparts.

Several organophsophorus agrochemicals 2a-g with thioether, phosphoramidic, phosphorothioic, and phosphorothionic functions were reacted with perfluoro-cis-2-n-butyl-3-n-propyloxaziridine 1.The selective oxygenation of sulfide function to give sulfoxide derivatives 3a-g occured in high yields without overoxidation to sulfone products.Sulfoxides 3a-e were further oxidized under mild conditions to the corresponding sulfones 4a-e.All the products are themselves of interest as analytical environmental standards and their preparation is described in detail.
