New ω-phthalimidoperoxyalkanoic acids in decontamination. Destruction of some toxic organophosphorus and organosulfur pollutants

Abstract

Chemical decontamination of toxic compounds (chemical warfare agents and/or insecticides) is of increasing importance. In this study, we report the use of ω-phthalimidoperoxyalkanoic acids 2 in the destruction of paraoxon (O,O-diethyl-O-para-nitrophenylphosphate), a well-known insecticide, and 2-chloro-2′-phenyldiethyl sulfide (a half mustard). We show that while all the peroxyacids used in this series allow the destruction of toxic compounds, the length n of the alkanoic side chain is important to the choice of the optimal industrial compound, which is 2d (n  = 5).

Synthèse et réactivité d'une nouvelle série d'ω-phtalimidoperacides. Application à la destruction de polluants organophosphorés et organosoufrés. La décontamination chimique de composés toxiques dans les séries des organophosphorés et organosoufrés est d'une grande importance. Nous décrivons ici nos résultats sur la recherche de réactifs susceptibles de détruire des composés dans ces familles de toxiques; il s'agit d'une série d'acides ω-phtalimidoperalcanoïques 2. Nous rationalisons, optimisons et justifions le choix du meilleur candidat en fonction de la longueur de la chaîne alkyle du peracide 2d (n  = 5).
