Abstract: N-phosphoryl amino acids could be catalyzed by imidazole to result in solvolysis such as ester exchanges on phosphorus, esterification, formation of peptides and N→Omigration of the phosphoryl group. For serine and threonine, a phosphaoxazole product was also detected. Only N-phosphoryl serine and threonine methyl esters were catalyzed by imidazole, Anew type of pentacoordinate phosphorus intermediate was proposed.

Key words: Imidazole, Phosphoamino acids, Catalysis, Penta-coordinate phosphorus
