The reaction pathways for the formation of quaternary ammonium salt and isomethyl propyl phosphonate remain unexplored. In this report, the mechanistic pathways of G-series nerve agents sarin and its simulant diethylcholorophosphate (DCP) with Kemp's triacid derivatives has been explored computationally. The calculations performed with B3LYP-D3/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory in DCM solvent revealed that the reaction proceeds via intermolecular and intramolecular S<sub>N</sub>2 pathways.

The computed results suggest that the first intermolecular S<sub>N</sub>2 reaction of Kemp's triacid derivatives (<strong>I</strong> & <strong>II</strong>) with sarin for the backside attack is energetically favored compared to the frontside attack and the following intramolecular S<sub>N</sub>2 reaction is a barrierless process. The calculations performed with simulant diethylcholorophosphate (DCP) and Kemp's triacid derivatives (<strong>I</strong> & <strong>II</strong>) show that the reactions are energetically more facile compared to the nerve agent sarin molecule.
