“…As should be expected, the reactions of tetrathiophosphates with P(S)C13 occur at higher temperatures than those with P(S)Br3, and they can be completed on heating in a steel tube at 180--220 ~ at temperatures >250 ~ partial resinification of the reaction mixture is observed. It was also revealed that the exchange of thiol groups of tetrathiophosphates can occur stepwise, and at the molar ratio 1 : P(S)CI 3 = 2 : 1, dialkyl trithiochlorophosphates (2) are predominantly formed and isolated in 52--78% yields (Eq. (1), Table 1).…”
