Hi everyone,

 

Could you please help to understand if cleaning agent as THPS (tetrakis (hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulphate) or phosphorus ester can react to disengage Ester the way as in the attacment of course after all carbonyl groups had been reacted?

 

The problem is really broad nowadays as ester type chemical (for example viscosifier for drilling muds as Xanthan gam) can be produced with crude and block as filters as heater elements causing major operational problems of oil producing companies.

 

Thanks in advance

I stopped looking in much detail after the first mechanistic step. What you've drawn doesn't make chemical sense. Arrows represent the movement of electrons; it's always drawn negative to positive, not the other way around (as you have done).
