4-Isopropyl-2,6,7-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo[2.2.2]octane 1-oxide has a mouse intraperitoneal lethal dose, 50 percent effective, of 0.18 milligram per kilogram of body weight. Related compounds used by many chemical researchers are also highly toxic. Brain acetylcholinesterase inhibition is not involved in their mode of action. The structural similarity of these compounds to adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) is of interest.

Article Synopsis
  • The study reports the synthesis of a unique air and water stable phosphenium cation, referred to as compound 1, stabilized by a Bicyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (BICAAC), which is uncommon in scientific literature.
  • The compound is synthesized through a reaction followed by anion exchange, leading to the formation of two derivatives: an α-radical phosphine species (2) and a phosphenium oxide (3).
  • Research included characterizing these compounds using techniques like X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy, revealing that compounds 1 and 3 selectively bind to fluoride ions over other halides, with computational studies aiding in understanding their bonding characteristics.

Preparation and thermostability of a Si/P/N synergistic flame retardant containing triazine ring structure for cotton fabrics.

Int J Biol Macromol

March 2024

College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Qingdao University, Qingdao 266071, PR China. Electronic address:

A new synergistic flame retardant named Bisiminopropyl trimethoxysilane-1,3,5-triazine-O-bicyclic pentaerythritol phosphate (BTPODE) was synthesized, which is a type of Si/P/N flame retardant. This was accomplished by grafting aminopropyl trimethoxysilane and bicyclic pentaerythritol phosphate onto a triazine ring structure, serving as an intermediate. The structure of BTPODE was determined using nuclear magnetic resonance (H NMR, C NMR, and P NMR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR).

Geometrically Deformed and Conformationally Rigid Phosphorus Trisamides Featuring an Unsymmetrical Backbone.

Nonclassical P(III) centers have attracted much attention in recent years. Incorporating a P(III) center in a rigid bicyclic platform offers a particularly attractive way to invoke significant geometric distortion of the phosphorus atom that may in turn induce unusual reactivity. Although still relatively scarcely explored, phosphorus centers enforced in a non-C symmetry have gained significant traction lately.

Modification of Low-Energy Surfaces Using Bicyclic Peptides Discovered by Phage Display.

J Am Chem Soc

Department of Chemistry, Center for BioAnalytical Chemistry, Key Laboratory of Bioorganic Phosphorus Chemistry & Chemical Biology, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China.

Solid-binding peptides are a simple and versatile tool for the non-covalent modification of solid material surfaces, and a variety of peptides have been developed by reference to natural proteins or de novo design. Here, for the first time, we report the discovery of a bicyclic peptide targeting the heterogeneous material polypropylene by combining phage display technology and next-generation sequencing. We find that the enrichment properties of bicyclic peptides capable of binding to polypropylene are distinct from linear peptides, as reflected in amino acid abundance and a trend toward negative net charges and high hydrophobicity.
