Abstract
The reactivity of 2-dimethylaminomethylphenol (1) toward 4-nitrophenylbis(chloromethyl)phosphinate (2) was studied in micellar solutions and in the lyotropic liquid-crystalline mesophase of the sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-water system. The reaction between1 and2 is inhibited in the presence of SDS, which is explained by the shift of the acid-base equilibrium of1 toward the formation of a nonreactive protonated form.
