Perhydrolysis of nerve agent VX
TL;DR: The exceedingly toxic nerve agent VX (O-ethyl S-(2-diisopropymino)ethyl methylphosphonothioate) cannot be detoxified by reaction with hydroxide ion but is rapidly detoxified (substitution with HO 2 - ) presumably via an intramolecular oxygen transfer which precludes loss of the ethoxy group.
