The conformations and electrostatic potentials of phosphonamides, phosphonamidates and sulfonamides have been compared to the tetrahedral intermediate for base-catalyzed amide hydrolysis. The wide variation in inhibition by these similar compounds is explained through differences in electrostatic effects.
