Notwithstanding its half-life of 70 years at 25 °C, the spontaneous hydrolysis anion di-2-pyridyl phosphate (DPP) is thousands times faster (ca. 3000 100 over 10000-fold °C) than expected for a diester with leaving groups pK(a) 9.09. The kinetic parameters do not permit conclusive choice between five possible mechanisms considered, but combination kinetics and calculational evidence supports single-step, concerted, S(N)2(P) mechanism involving attack solvent water on phosphorus assisted by...
