The Design and Synthesis of Biologically Active Organophosphorus Compounds – The Role of a Central Research Laboratory

Abstract

The properties and benefits offered by incorporating phosphorus into molecules are varied and numerous as shown by the many divisional research programs within Ciba-Geigy in the early eighties. This paper describes how a Central Research Group developed new materials in organophosphorous chemistry and identified new leads for life science applications.
