1,053,797. Organophosphorus sulphides. LUBRIZOL CORPORATION. Oct. 1, 1964 [Oct. 8, 1963], No. 40019/64. Heading C2C. [Also in Division C5] Organophosphorus sulphides are prepared by reacting at a temperature from 50‹ to 200‹ C. (a) a phosphorus containing reactant of the formula wherein X is oxygen or sulphur, n is a number from 1 to 2, Z is a halogen, and R and R 1 are hydrocarbon radicals, with (b) an aromatic compound having an ionization constant of less than 1 x 10 -10 at 25‹ C. in aqueous solution, in the presence of (c) AlZ 3 where Z is as defined above and hydrolysing the product. The hydrocarbon radicals R and R 1 may be the same or different aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and/or aromatic radicals and may contain polar groups such as chloro, bromo, keto, ether, aldehyde and nitro groups, provided that the hydrocarbon character of the radicals are not altered significantly, and contain preferably from 1 to 30 carbon atoms. The aluminium halide complex (a) is generally the complex resulting from the preparation of the corresponding phosphinodithioic or phosphinomonothioic acid using an aluminium halide as catalyst. Examples of the aromatic compound (b) are benzene, biphenyl, naphthalene, diphenyl ether and substitution products of these such as their alkylation halogenation and nitration products. Aluminium chloride is the preferred aluminium compound (c) but the bromide, fluoride and iodide may also be used.
