WHAT DOES ORGANOPHOSPHATE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

organophosphate

Organophosphate

An organophosphate or phosphate ester is the general name for esters of phosphoric acid. Many of the most important biochemicals are organophosphates, including DNA and RNA as well as many cofactors that are essential for life. Organophosphates are the basis of many insecticides, herbicides, and nerve agents. The United States Environmental Protection Agency lists organophosphates as very highly acutely toxic to bees, wildlife, and humans. Recent studies suggest a possible link to adverse effects in the neurobehavioral development of fetuses and children, even at very low levels of exposure. Organophosphates are widely used as solvents, plasticizers, and EP additives. Organophosphates are widely employed both in natural and synthetic applications because of the ease with which organic groups can be linked together. OP3 + ROH → OP2 + H2O OP2 + R'OH → OP + H2O OP + R"OH → OP + H2O The phosphate esters bearing OH groups are acidic and partially deprotonated in aqueous solution. For example, DNA and RNA are polymers of the type n.
