In this protocol article, the synthesis of dinucleotide non-symmetrical triester phosphate phosphoramidites will be highlighted. Specifically, we use a selective transesterification starting with tris(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) phosphate to afford a dinucleotide derivative phosphate ester. Substitution of the final trifluoroethyl group with various alcohols affords a dinucleotide triester phosphate with a hydrophobic group, which can then be deprotected and converted to a phosphoramidite for incorporation within oligonucleotides. © 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Nowadays, nucleic acid derivatives capable of modulating gene expression at the RNA level have gained widespread recognition as promising therapeutic agents. A suitable degree of biological stability of oligonucleotide therapeutics is required for in vivo application; this can be most expeditiously achieved by the chemical modification of the internucleotidic phosphate group, which may also affect their cellular uptake, tissue distribution and pharmacokinetics. Our group has previously developed a strategy for the chemical modification of the phosphate group via the Staudinger reaction on a solid phase of the intermediate dinucleoside phosphite triester and a range of, preferably, electron deficient organic azides such as sulfonyl azides during automated solid-phase DNA synthesis according to the conventional β-cyanoethyl phosphoramidite scheme.

Global concerns regarding the depletion and strategic importance of phosphorus resources have increased demand for the recovery and recycling. However, waste-derived phosphorus compounds, primarily as chemically inert phosphoric acid or its salts, present a challenge to their direct conversion into high-value chemicals. We aimed to develop an innovative technology that utilizes the large quantities of sewage waste, bypasses the use of white phosphorus, and enables esterification of phosphoric acid to produce widely applicable phosphate triesters.

Organophosphate esters and their metabolites in eggs from Vietnam.

Food Addit Contam Part B Surveill

November 2024

Institute of Chemistry, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST), Hanoi, Vietnam.

Data on the occurrence of organophosphate tri-esters (tri-OPEs) and their metabolites (di-OPEs) in hen's eggs are scarce. Therefore, 200 egg samples were gathered in 2023 in Hanoi, Vietnam and analysed by UHPLC-Q-Exactive HRMS. The majority of these compounds were detected, with tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (0.

Article Synopsis
  • A novel enzyme-nanoparticle construct is created using phosphotriesterase (PTE) immobilized in a partially oxidized mesoporous silicon nanoparticle for breaking down nerve agents.
  • The enzyme@nanoparticle setup demonstrates twice the efficiency in hydrolyzing a model compound (DMNP) compared to the free enzyme, with pore hydration being crucial for optimal activity.
  • This construct maintains its activity over multiple cycles, is more stable against degradation, and effectively detoxifies the nerve agent VX while protecting AChE function in human blood tests, making it a promising tool for chemical decontamination.

Consumer products are important reservoirs and sources of organophosphate tri-esters and di-esters: Characteristics, mass inventory, and implication for waste management.

J Environ Sci (China)

May 2025

Guangdong Key Laboratory of Environmental Pollution and Health, School of Environment, Jinan University, Guangzhou 511443, China. Electronic address:

Numerous studies documented the occurrence of organophosphate tri-esters (tri-OPEs) and di-esters (di-OPEs) in the environment. Little information is available on their occurrence in waste consumer products, reservoirs and sources of these chemicals. This study collected and analyzed 92 waste consumer products manufactured from diverse polymers, including polyurethane foam (PUF), polystyrene (PS), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE) to obtain information on the occurrence and profiles of 16 tri-OPEs and 10 di-OPEs.
