a-Hydroxy Phosphates, Chemical Properties, Significant BiologicalAbstract
α-Hydroxy phosphates are a class of organophosphorus compounds characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group adjacent to the phosphate moiety. These compounds exhibit significant biological and chemical properties, making them valuable in pharmaceuticals, catalysis, and materials science. Due to their multifunctional nature, α-HPs have been extensively studied for their potential roles in metabolic pathways, enzymatic reactions, and as intermediates in drug design. This review summarizes recent advances in the synthesis, reactivity, and applications of α-HPs, highlighting innovative methodologies, green synthetic approaches, and emerging applications in various fields.
