“…Interestingly, in earlier work [13], also phosphorylated carbamates with P-N(R)-C(O)OR motifs were synthesized, including 2-(N-ethoxycarbonyl methylamino)-l,3,2-dioxaphospholane (6), diethyl N-ethoxycarbonyl-N-methylphosphoramidite (7) and 4,5-benzo-2-(N-ethoxycarbonymethylamino)-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane (8) (Figure 2). N-phosphorylated methylcarbamates, in turn, were shown to react with elemental sulfur [9,15]. The products possess insecticidal activity resulting, however, in burns of the leaves.…”
