M. Mentz et al., FLUORIDE-ION CATALYSIS IN THE HYDROLYSIS OF ARYL PHOSPHATES - DEACTIVATING EFFECT OF LITHIUM COUNTER ION, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (13), 1994, pp. 1537-1538
Hydrolysis of the P-OAr bond in dimethyl aryl phosphates is catalysed
by fluoride ion due to the fast formation of intermediate phosphoroflu
oridate; LiF shows a much weaker catalytic effect than other alkali me
tal and tetramethylammonium fluoride salts.
