O,O-Diethyl dithiophosphate → HCID 53825183, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.12 g (0.006 mole) of O,O-diethyldithiophosphoric acid were added dropwise to a solution of 1.28 g (0.005 mole) of 4-(3-bromophenyl)-4-oxo-2-butenoic acid in 20 ml of acetone, and then the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. At the end of this time, the solvent was distilled off and the residue was extracted with diethyl ether. The extract was washed with water and dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate, after which the solvent was distilled off. The residue was subjected to column chromatography through silica gel, eluted with a 4:1 by volume mixture of benzene and ethyl acetate. The resulting solid was recrystallised from a mixture of benzene and hexane, to give 1.54 g (yield 69.8%) of the desired 4-(3-bromophenyl)-2-diethoxyphosphinothioylthio-4-oxobutenoic acid, melting at 107°-111° C.
