Dithiophosphoric and Dithiophosphonic Acids and Their Derivatives on the Basis of Thymol: Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity

Abstract

Biologically active dithiophosphoric and dithiophosphonic acids, their ammonium salts as well as S-silyl and S-plumbyl derivatives were prepared by the reaction of thymol with tetraphosphorus decasulfide and 2,4-diaryl 1,3,2,4-dithiadiphosphetane-2,4-disulfides.
