Abstract

Because these previous routes were unsatisfactory, the method of Morrison7 for the reaction of trialkyl phosphites with sulfenyl chlorides was investigated for the preparation of maloxon. In the reaction of t rimet hyl phosphite with lJ2-dicarbet hoxyet hylsulf enyl chloride, quantitative conversion of the sulfenyl chloride occurred in toluene solution at-30" on slow addition of the phosphite. The by-product, methyl chloride, escaped on warming to room ...
