Summary: | Hydrolyses of lithium 2,4-dinitrophenyl ethyl phosphate (
7) and 2,4-dinitrophenyl diethyl phosphate (
8) catalyzed by copper(II)—triamine complexes (triamine =
cis,cis-triaminocyclohexane (
1), 1,5,9-triazacyclododecane (
2), 1,4,7-triazacyclononane (
3), dipropylenetriamine (
4),
N-(2-aminoethyl)-1,3-propanediamine (
5), diethylenetriamine (

+ for all of the catalysts. Furthermore, the reactions were confirmed to proceed via a phosphate ester-coordinated intermediate on the basis of a good fit between the reciprocal of the stability constant (

5 ∼ 6 ∼ 4 ≪ 3 < 1 ∼ 2) in the estimated rate constant (
