Synthesis and structural characterization of 1,4,2-oxazaphosphepines is described. The 1,4,2-oxazaphosphepines were obtained from reaction of chiral 1,3-benzoxazines with dichlorophenylphosphine or triethyl phosphite. The configuration of some of these compounds was stablished by X-ray analysis.

The crystal structure of the title compound, C(7)H(10)N(+)·H(2)PO(3) (-), has been reported previously by Sabounchei & Naghipour [Asian J. Chem. (2003) ▶, 15, 1677-1686]. A new look at this compound has revealed doubling of the unit cell. The asymmetric unit consists of two 4-methyl-anilinium cations and two dihydrogen phosphite anions. The crystal structure is built upon alternating layers of ...

Microalgal cultivation that takes advantage of solar energy is one of the most cost-effective systems for the biotechnological production of biofuels, and a range of high value products, including pharmaceuticals, fertilizers and feed. However, one of the main constraints for the cultivation of microalgae is the potential contamination with biological pollutants, such as bacteria, fungi, zoopla...

We describe the application of a new class of ligands--the phosphite-oxazole/imidazole (L1-L5a-g)--in asymmetric intermolecular Pd-catalyzed Heck reactions under thermal and microwave conditions. These ligands combine the advantages of the oxazole/imidazole moiety with those of the phosphite moiety: they are more stable than their oxazoline counterparts, less sensitive to air and other oxidizin...

Direct reactions of the MRI contrast agent K2[Gd(DTPA)(H2O)]·5H2O (1) (H5DTPA = diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) with dipotassium hydrogen phosphate (K2HPO4) or phosphite (K2HPO3) result in the isolation of well-defined Gd-DTPA phosphite K6[Gd2(DTPA)2(HPO3)]·7H2O (2) or phosphate K6[Gd2(DTPA)2(HPO4)]·10H2O (3), respectively. Their lanthanum analogs K4[La2(DTPA)2(H2O)]·8H2O (4), K6[La2(DTPA)2...

It has been hypothesized that before the emergence of modern DNA-RNA-protein life, biology evolved from an "RNA world." However, synthesizing RNA and other organophosphates under plausible early Earth conditions has proved difficult, with the incorporation of phosphorus (P) causing a particular problem because phosphate, where most environmental P resides, is relatively insoluble and unreactive...

A protocol for the coupling of potassium xanthogenates with ?-(trifluoromethyl)styrenes in presence triethyl phosphite is reported. The reaction carried out under blue light irradiation organic photocatalyst 3DPAFIPN. proceeds via formation alkyl radicals from readily available xanthogenate salts oxidative desulfurization and cleavage carbon–oxygen bond assisted by phosphite.

Phytophthora root rot causes extensive damage to feeder roots of avocado. If uncontrolled, it results in a progressive decline in tree health and the eventual death of the tree (12, 14, 15). Phytophthora root rot is a major factor limiting avocado production world wide. Effective control of Phytophthora root rot of avocado has been achieved with fosetyl-al (Aliette® Rhone-Poulenc, aluminum tris...

There are a number of turf fungicides the activity of which is based on the phosphite (=phosphonate) ion (P03-). Chipco Signature fungicide (active ingredient fosetyl-Al) is the most common, and has become a "keystone" product for disease control programs on many golf courses across the country. This is in part because of the general enhancement in quality on stressed turfgrass that has been re...
