“…The study of the rates of alcoholysis of ATPA showed that many reactions of this type are catalytic. This was found for the first time when the rates of phosphorylation of the simplest alcohols by phosph(III)amides thoroughly freed from possible impurities were compared with those by phosph(III)amides obtained by conventional methods and, hence, contaminated by some amine hydrochlorides (AHC). − Later, the discovered catalytic effect has been confirmed by many other researchers. ,,,− …”
