Popis: The base-catalysed hydrolysis of triesters of phosphonoformic acid via P–O bond cleavage proceeds at rates at least 104 times greater than diethyl difluoromethylphosphonate and 106 times greater than diphenyl methylphosphonate. Buffer catalysis and isotope labelling studies suggest the mechanism of rate acceleration by the ethoxycarbonyl group to involve either intramolecular nucleophilic catalyses via a three-membered ring or stereoelectronic assistance, both of which are unprecedented.
