The coupling reaction of alkylphosphonic acids and alcohols on the surface of p-toluenesulfonic acid-Celite under mild and solvent-free conditions gave the corresponding phosphonates in excellent yields. This method provides a useful rapid synthesis of phosphonates for use in the unambiguous identification of chemical warfare agents.

Enzymes that efficiently hydrolyze highly toxic organophosphorus nerve agents could potentially be used as medical countermeasures. As sufficiently active enzymes are currently unknown, we synthesized twelve fluorogenic analogues of organophosphorus nerve agents with the 3-chloro-7-oxy-4- methylcoumarin leaving group as probes for high-throughput enzyme screening. This set included analogues of the pesticides paraoxon, parathion, and dimefox, and the nerve agents DFP, tabun, sarin, cyclosarin, soman, VX, and Russian-VX. Data from inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, in vivo toxicity tests of a representative analogue (cyclosarin), and kinetic studies with phosphotriesterase (PTE) from Pseudomonas diminuta, and a mammalian serum paraoxonase (PON1), confirmed that the analogues mimic the parent nerve agents effectively. They are suitable tools for high-throughput screens for the directed evolution of efficient nerve agent organophosphatases.

, (2008/06/13)
This invention relates to a process for preparing oligophosphonic or oligophosphinic acids or esters or salts thereof which comprises reacting an alkali metal ester of phosphorous acid or an alkali metal ester of arylphosphonous or alkylphosphonous acid with an olefin polyhalide and, optionally, saponifying the resultant product.
