چکیده
Organophosphorus compounds are ubiquitous in nature, and due to their innate chemical properties, serve a fundamental role in a number of important fields. Among the more prominent features that elevate their status as a unique and versatile class of compounds, include variable oxidation states, multivalency, asymmetry and metal-binding properties. Their presence in bioactive natural products, endogenous biomolecules, small molecule therapeutic agents and pro-drugs substantiates their role in modern synthetic chemistry and chemical biology. Moreover, their central use as ligands and effectors in asymmetric catalysis, as well as key functional groups for the development of new synthetic methods, has taken the field to new heights. This Thematic Series highlights and details some of the novel methods that are advancing the field of organophosphorus chemistry.

Homolytic substitution at phosphorus for C–P bond formation in organic synthesis
Organophosphorus compounds are important in organic chemistry. This review article covers emerging, powerful synthetic approaches to organophosphorus compounds by homolytic substitution at phosphorus with a carbon-centered radical. Phosphination reagents include diphosphines, chalcogenophosphines and stannylphosphines, which bear a weak P-heteroatom bond for homolysis. This article deals with t...
متن کاملInteractions of cyclodextrins and their derivatives with toxic organophosphorus compounds
The aim of this review is to provide an update on the current use of cyclodextrins against organophosphorus compound intoxications. Organophosphorus pesticides and nerve agents play a determinant role in the inhibition of cholinesterases. The cyclic structure of cyclodextrins and their toroidal shape are perfectly suitable to design new chemical scavengers able to trap and hydrolyze the organop...
متن کاملThe inhibition of hydrolytic enzymes by organophosphorus compounds.
It has been shown that several hydrolytic enzymes with different specificities undergo similar reactions with diisopropyl phosphorofluoridate (1) and other related toxic organophosphorus compounds (2). These conclusions were based on kinetic studies, particularly the influence of pH on the rates of reaction, and on inhibition characteristics. Reactions of this type have provided a unique method...
