Terpene analogues of dithiophospate pesticides

Abstract

New optically active O,O-diterpenyl dithiophosphoric and O-terpenyl aryldithiophosphonic acids were prepared when chiral terpenols such as (1R)-endo-(+)-fenchyl alcohol, (1S)-endo-(-)-borneol, (1R)-(-)-nopol, and (1R,2S,3S,5R)-(+)-isopinocampheol were involved in reactions with tetraphosphorus decasulfide and 2,4-diaryl 1,3,2,4- dithiadiphosphetane-2,4- disulfides.
