Abstract: NAY-Trimethyl-P-phenylphosphinothioic amide (1) was prepared from phenylphosphonothioic dichloride by sequential treatment with methylmagnesium halide, sulfuryl chloride, and dimethylamine. Treatment of 1 in tetrahydrofuran with butyllithium afforded P-(lithiomethyl)-N, N-dimethyl-P-phenylphosphinothioic amide (2). Aldehydes and ketones upon treatment with 2 provided stable P-hydroxy adducts, which upon treatment ...
