Abstract

The optically active phosphinodithioates were prepared by the reaction of the corresponding phosphinothioates with Lawesson's reagent in high chemical and optical yields, and were allowed to react with n-BuLi, followed by treatment with the electrophiles to give the corresponding optically active secondary or tertiary phosphine sulfides.
