Industrial and laboratory methods for incorporating phosphorus atoms into molecules within the framework of Green Chemistry are in their infancy. Current practice requires large inputs of energy, involves toxic intermediates, and generates substantial waste. Furthermore, a negligible fraction of phosphorus-containing waste is recycled which in turn contributes to negative environmental impacts, such as eutrophication. Methods that begin to address some of these drawbacks are reviewed, and some key opportunities to be realized by pursuing organophosphorus chemistry under the principles of Green Chemistry are highlighted. Methods used by nature, or in the chemistry of other elements such as silicon, are discussed as model processes for the future of phosphorus in chemical synthesis.

让我们淘汰白磷。

在绿色化学框架内将磷原子掺入分子的工业和实验室方法尚处于起步阶段。当前的实践需要大量的能量输入，涉及有毒的中间体，并产生大量的废物。此外，可回收的含磷废物可忽略不计，这反过来又对环境造成了负面影响，例如富营养化。本文综述了解决这些缺点的方法，并重点介绍了在绿色化学原理下通过追求有机磷化学实现的一些关键机遇。讨论了自然界或其他元素（如硅）化学中使用的方法，作为未来磷在化学合成中的模型过程。
