Hydrolysis of polysorbate in biopharmaceutical products has been ascribed to the enzymatic activity from trace levels of residual host cell proteins. In recent years, significant efforts to identify the causative enzymes typically used elaborate, material-intensive and time-consuming approaches. Therefore, the lack of fast and sensitive assays to monitor their activity remains a major bottleneck for supporting process optimization and troubleshooting activities where time and sample throughput are crucial constraints.

The former was isolated in 46% yield as the crystalline salt [Na(benzo-15-crown-5)][P(SnPh3)2] and used to prepare the homoleptic phosphine P(SnPh3)3, isolated in 67% yield, as well as the indium derivative (XL)2InP(SnPh3)2 (XL = S(CH2)2NMe2), isolated in 84% yield, and the gold complex (Ph3P)AuP(SnPh3)2. The compounds [Na(benzo-15-crown-5)][P(SnPh3)2], P(SnPh3)3, (XL)2InP(SnPh3)2, and (Ph3P)AuP(SnPh3)2 were characterized using multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.
