Abstract: As vital constituents of organoelemental compounds, organophosphorus compounds find extensive applications across diverse fields including materials science, agrochemicals, and organic synthesis, demonstrating significant relevance to daily life. While phosphorus, as a crucial main-group element, is introduced with its fundamental properties in secondary education, undergraduate chemistry curricula primarily emphasize more advanced inorganic phosphorus chemistry with limited coverage of organophosphorus chemistry. This article highlights recent research advances in organophosphorus chemistry and proposes pedagogical considerations for incorporating organophosphorus chemical knowledge into undergraduate teaching.

Key words: Organophosphorus chemistry, Undergraduate teaching, Organic synthesis, Phosphorus compounds
