Popis: | The chemistry of the bifunctional alkylating agent phosphoramide mustard and model phos phoramides was probed by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy as a function of pH. Between pH 1 and 11, both the 31 P and 15 N resonances for phosphoramide mustard displayed a single monobasic titration curve with a pK a of 4.9. The protonation below pH 4.9 correlates with the loss in reactivity of the mustard. The 17 O NMR spectrum of 17 O-enriched phosphoramide mustard shows little change with pH. The data on the mustard was compared to 15 N and 31 P NMR data on 15 N-enriched phosphoramidic acid, phosphorodiamidic acid, and phosphoric triamide. Contrary to the conclusions of previous studies, our combined 31 P, 15 N, and 17 O NMR results are more consistent with N-protonation of phosphoramide mustard rather than an O-protonation. Theoretical calculations on the phosphoramidic acid, phosphorodiamidic acid, and phosphoric triamide show O-protonation to be more stable in the gas phase. For the latter two compounds, the calculations suggest that N-protonation may be the most stable protonated form in the aqueous phase. These findings influence our understanding of the structure-activity relationships of phosphoramide mustards |
