Abstract
Phosphotriesters composed of one or two 2-methoxy-5-nitrophenyl group( s) can be quantitatively photohydrolyzed in aqueous acetonitrile to yi eld the desired phosphodiester or phosphomonoester, respectively. Phot ohydrolysis occurs by attack of hydroxide at both the phosphoryl phosp horus and at the ipso-carbon in the triplet exited state of the 2-meth oxy-5-nitrophenyl substituted phosphoesters. The photophysical studies described within imply that this type of reaction may be syntheticall y useful.
