The influence of the changing of P=O to P=S and P—O—R to P—S—R on the reactivity of phosphinate esters under alkaline hydrolysis conditions

Alkyl dialkylphosphinates, thionates, thioates, and dithioates have been studied under alkaline hydrolysis conditions in 60% DME – H 2 O and pure H 2 O. Substitution of S for O in the phosphoryl group has only a small rate retarding effect, typically less than a factor of 10. The effect of the simil... View More
