Cyclische Thiophosphate,Produkte der Umsetzung von elementarem Phosphor mit Alkylammoniumpolysulfiden

Cyclic Thiophosphates, Products from the Reaction of Elemental Phosphorus with Alkylammonium Polysulfides White Phosphorus reacts very rapidly above its melting point with alkylammonium polysulfide solutions in chloroform or dimethylformamide. The reaction products are mixtures of thiophosphates, which contain compounds with phosphorus in different oxidation states. The composition of these mixtures may be changed by varying the amounts of applied polysulfidic sulfur and alkylamine. Several cyclic thiophosphates have been isolated from the mixtures in good yields; some contain P? P bonds.
