Chemical transformation ofS‐benzylO‐ethyl phenylphosphonothiolate (Inezin®) by ultraviolet light

Abstract: The photodecomposition of Inezin (S-benzyl O-ethyl phenylphosphonothiolate) in n-hexane under the ultraviiolet irradiation was investigated by gas liquid chromatography, thin layer chromatography, mass spectrometry, and infrared spectroscopy. Two main steps of photodecomposition were observed at the initial stage of irradiation. One was the cleavage of P-S bond to produce O-ethyl phenylphosphinate and dibenzyl disulfide, the latter of which was degraded rather rapidly to produce sulfuric acid and benzoic acid… Show more

“…2 A phosphonate motif is present in biomolecules which can act as inhibitors of certain biosynthetic pathways and can be degraded only by some prokaryotic microorganisms. 3 The high chemical stability of phosphonates, together with their resistance to biodegradation, makes this class of compounds of particular interest for the drug design.…”

“…The recent appearance of glyphosate resistant recombinant plants resulted in the escalated application of glyphosate containing herbicides and, subsequently, to the extension of the pollution sites [2]. Unlike the easily degradable C-O-P ester bond in phosphates, the C-P bond in the phosphonates is resistant to physicochemical factors [3,4]. However, under certain conditions, it may be cleaved by the microbial enzymatic systems [5,6].…”

“…With certain exceptions, the C-P bond is highly resistant to chemical hydrolysis (4), thermal decomposition (4), and photolysis (17); hence, biological cleavage of the C-P bond in natural habitats assumes importance to prevent the accumulation of phosphonates. Cleavage of the C-P bond is apparently limited to certain microorganisms (8,16).…”
