Mechanism of alkaline solvolysis of phenyl diaminophosphates is discussed on the basis of its selectivity, activation entropy and steric effects. All methods used show that the reaction proceeds by SN2 mechanism via an intermediate, containing a pentavalent phosphorus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
