Abstract
The rate constants for the substitution of the para-nitrophenoxide ion by the phenoxide and hydroxide ions in phosphates and phosphonates are enhanced upon the addition of hexamethylphosphorotriamide (HMPTA) to water. The lack of alkaline hydrolysis of the esters in 90% aqueous HMPTA containing PhONa is a consequence of the formation of the PhOH... OH complex, which is nonreactive.
