Reaction of O,O-dialkyldithiophosphoric acid with N-tert-butyl-2,2-dihalopropanimines

Resumo

O,O-Dialkyldithiophosphoric acid reacted with N-tert-butyl-2,2-dihalopropanimines to give iminium salt as a primary product, which further sequentially undergoes reaction with two equivalents of dithiophosphoric acid to initially reduce the C—X (X = Cl, Br) bond in the iminium salt and then nucleophilic replacement of the halogen atom with dialkoxydithiophosphate group. The final reaction products are the reduction—substitution product of the primary salt and bis(dialkoxythiophosphoryl) disulfide.
