“…Found: C, 51.79; H, 6.49. jr-2-[Methylphenyl(thiophosphinoyl)]-c-4,c-6-dimethyl-1,3-dithiane (Ilf). Following the general procedure of Juaristi et al,37 dithiane 15 (2.96 g, 20.0 mmol) and chlorophosphine 33 (3.80 g, 24.0 mmol) were converted into a mixture which, after chromatographic separation on silica gel with benzene-acetone as an eluent and subsequent crystallization from chloroformdiethyl ether, afforded Ilf (2.647 g, 43.8%), colorless crystals: mp 124.5-130.0 °C; NMR (300.13 MHz, CD2C12) 1.23 (dd, Vh-h = 6.8 Hz, VH-P = 0.4 Hz, 3H, CHgC'), 1.23 (dt, Hz, Vh-h = 11.50 Hz, 1H, ( 5) ), 1.25 (dd, VH-H = 6.8 Hz, VH-P = 0.4 Hz, 3H, CHgC"), 2.08 (ddt, VH-h = 14.0 Hz, VH-p = 4.2 Hz, Vh-h = 2.29 Hz, 1H, H(5)«,), 2.18 (d, VH-P = 13.1 Hz, 3H, CHgP), 2.88 (dqdd, VH-h = 11.50 Hz, VH-H = 6.8 Hz, VH-h = 2. 29 Hz, Vh-p = 1.0 Hz, 1H, Ctf'CHg), 2.91 (dqdd, VH-h = 11.50 Hz, VH-H = 6.8 Hz, Vh-h = 2.…”
