Efficient neutralization of nerve‐agent simulants by 1,3‐diindolylureas in a neutral medium was investigated (see scheme; DCP=diethylchlorophosphate, DCNP=diethylcyanophosphonate). The rate of hydrolysis of the simulants was found to increase by as much as 45 % in the presence of these compounds. A mechanism based on the simulant complexation was established.
