A convenient new method for the preparation of thionophosphine sulfides is described. These compounds undergo a modified FriedelLCrafts reaction with benzene and provide a route for the synthesis of unsymmetrical phosphinodithioic acids, unobtainable from reactions employing phosphorus pentasulfide (P&o).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
