Phenyl phosphorodiamidate

Phenyl phosphorodiamidate is an organophosphorus compound with the formula C6H5OP(O)(NH2)2. A white solid, it is used as an inhibitor of urease,[1] an enzyme that accelerates the hydrolysis of urea. In this way, phenyl phosphorodiamidate enhances the effectiveness of urea-based fertilizers. It is a component of the technology of controlled release fertilizers.[2]
