Abstract: Bis-(p-nitrophenyl) methylphosphonothionate (b-p-NPMPT) (I) reacts with amines in aqueous medium via general base catalysis of water attack. The rate is first order each in [substrate] and [amine]. Solvent deuterium isotope effect, k2(H2O) / k2(D2O), is greater than 2 for amine reactions. Different classes of amines follow Bronsted relation with a slope of 0.40. Fluoride and phosphate ions react with (I) by nucleophilic mechanism. At higher fluoride ion concentration, 2 mol of p-nitrophenol (p-NP) is released by a first order process. At lower fluoride ion concentration less than 2 mol of p-NP is produced. k2(H2O) / k2(D2O) for the reaction of fluoride and phosphate ions with b-p-NPMPT≡ 1. It is believed that steric crowding in the transition state causes reaction of (I) with amine to proceed via general base mechanism and that of fluoride ion, oxyanions and phosphate anions through a nucleophilic mechanism.
