Comparative study of nucleophilic efficacy of pralidoxime towards phosphorus, sulfur and thiophosphorus based esters

Abstract: The nucleophilic substitution reaction of p-nitrophenyldiphenyl phosphate, p-nitrophenyl p-toluene sulfonate and insecticide fenitrothion with pralidoxime have been studied at 27°C in the presence of different cationic surfactants. Micellar rate enhancements increase as the cationic head group is made less polar. The order of cleavage of different electrophilic centres by pralidoxime is

“…PAM and other oximes act as strong nucleophiles in deacylation and dephosphorylation of esters, and their efficiency in dephosphorylation can be enhanced by conversion into corresponding oximate anions, which in the case of PAM should be termed zwitterions (Figure 2) 16,20,21 Reactivity of the oximates can suffer a saturation effect and decay with increasing basicity in aqueous solution above a pH of 9, 20 and thus we performed the conversion of PAM to PAMNa at pH 8.6, i.e., just above the pK a value of 8.23 reported for PAM. 22 As reported below, PAM converted to the PAMNa form possessed a higher reactivity toward the OP compounds studied. It should be noted that upon reaching pH 8.6 in the aqueous solution of PAM in the process of the solution titration with minute quantities of sodium methoxide, the solution was snapfrozen in liquid nitrogen and dried under high vacuum, in a procedure designed to arrest possible degradation effects that are known to occur in aqueous alkaline solutions of PAM at elevated temperatures.…”

“…Many cationic surfactants can also be used as micellar catalysts [18], able to accelerate chemical decomposition [19,20], and such compounds can find use as decontaminants for military purposes. Thus these properties are important in decontamination procedures for measuring the kinetics of cleavage of some model compounds such as organophosphates and others [21,22,23,24,25,26]. Many other properties of cationic surfactants were discovered.…”

“…Phosphines and other phosphorus‐containing compounds are used in a wide range of applications, including as ionic liquids, flame retardants, surfactants, and biocides . Our interest in the design and synthesis of phosphine‐functional polymers stems from the utility of phosphorus‐based functional groups in organic synthesis, for example, as stereoselective organocatalysts or as ligands in transition metal catalysis (e.g., Pd, Ru) .…”
