Phosphorolytic cleavage of phosphate and phosphonoformate diesters by cetyltrimethylammonium iodosobenzoate
Micellar cetyltrimethylammonium iodosobenzoate (4) cleaves P-O ester linkages of bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate (3), methoxycarbonyl phenyl phosphonoformate (6), and hexyloxycarbonyl phenyl phosphonoformate (7). Kinetic advantages of several orders of magnitude are obtained relative to the unassisted hydrolyses.
