NUCLEOPHILICITY OF FUNCTIONAL SURFACE ACTIVE SUBSTANCES IN THE TRANSFER OF PHOSPHORYL GROUPS

The reactivity of _-nucleophilic groups in functional detergents is comparable with those for analogous compounds which do not form micelles. Methods are proposed for the modification of surface active compounds to produce supernucleophilic systems for the decomposition of organophosphorus compounds. A new functional detergent – 1-cetyl-3-(2-hydroxyiminoethyl)imidazolium chloride – is the most powerful of the investigated surface active reagents capable of achieving half lives for the decomposition of 4-nitrophenyl diethyl phosphonate and 4-nitrophenyl diethyl phosphate of ≤ 2 and 14 s respectively.
