Metal- and chloride reagent-free synthesis of mixed thiophosphates†
Abstract
A mild, efficient synthetic strategy for the synthesis of mixed thiophosphate compounds from thiophosphates has been developed. A highly reactive thiophosphorylpyridinium salt, generated in situ by treating thiophosphates with Tf2O/pyridine, transiently undergoes a substitution reaction with various arenols to forge potential agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals.
