Abstract
We report the dephosphorylation reactions of the organophosphates diethyl 2,4-dinitrophenyl phosphate (DEDNPP) and dimethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (methyl paraoxon) by the oxime 2-(hydroxyimino)-N-phenyl-acetamide (Ox 1). Rate enhancements of 107-fold over the rate constant for the spontaneous hydrolysis are observed in aqueous medium in presence of the anionic form of the oxime. Ox 1 represents a new family of nucleophiles which could be used for the degradation of toxic organophosphates. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
