ChemInform Abstract: Phosphate Ester Hydrolysis Catalyzed by Metallomicelles.

Abstract

111ChemInform Abstract The rate of the hydrolysis of (I) in the presence of (IVa) is accelerated by the 105-fold, the catalysis showing turnover behavior. The catalytic effect is brought about by a micellization effect superimposed upon a metal catalysis. The also effective (IVb) has a low water solubility and a critical micelle concentration too small to measure. Hydrolysis reactions are also carried out with bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate and the nerve agent Soman.
