Abstract
Racemic and optically active S-sulphonylphosphinothioates R-SO2-S-P(O)Bu'Ph and dithioates R-SO2-S-P(S)Bu'Ph (R [dbnd] Me, p-tolyl) have been prepared for the first time by the reaction of the corresponding acids Bu'PhP(S)SH (X [dbnd] O,S) of their salts with sulphonylating reagents RSO2-Y (Y [dbnd] Cl, O-SO2R, triazolide).
