Abstract

A convenient, highly efficient, safe microwave-mediated S-alkylation of O, O'-dialkyl thiophosphate has been reported. Clean and rapid S-alkylation of thiophosphates can be achieved by irradiating a mixture of dialkylthiophosphate salt and alkyl halide under microwave for a brief period. Alkylation occurs exclusively at sulfur to provide S-alkylated products. Through a simple workup, pure compounds have been obtained easily in good ...
