Abstract

A study has been made of the reactivity of isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate with various substituted phenols. The data indicate that:(a) The nucleophilic displacement capability of a phenolate increases with the basicity of the anion (log kg= 0.589 pK,-4.172).(b) Cationic sites in the phenol increase the reactivity of the phenolate and the increase is inversely related to the distance between cationic and anionic sites.(c) There are marked steric ( ...
