Abstract
Effective nanoreactors based on polyethyleneimines (PEIs) for the hydrolytic cleavage of O-alkyl O-p-nitrophenyl chloromethylphosphonates (alkyl = ethyl, hexyl) and di(p-nitrophenyl)phosphate were developed in conformity with the idea of modeling the polyfunctional catalytic mechanism of enzymes. A step-by-step modification of the single PEI solution by additives with their own catalytic activities (sodium dodecyl sulfate and lanthanum salt) gave rise to a marked improvement in the reaction efficiency. A 104-106-fold acceleration of the reaction compared to the aqueous basic hydrolysis of the substrates was achieved in the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyethyleneimine-La(III) ternary system. This system can be considered to be metallomicelles immobilized on a hydrophilic polymer matrix. When the PEI immobilized on silica gel was used as a catalyst, the full completion of the reaction was achieved for 100 min under mild conditions, while the half-life of the reaction in a comparable homogeneous regime exceeds 100 h.
