ABSTRACT

A new reaction of white phosphorus (P4) with elemental sulfur and thiols in the presence of different amines has been investigated. Ammonium salts of S,S′-dialkyltetrathiophosphoric acids have been observed as main products of the reaction. Octathiotetraphosphetane ammonium salts were formed as side products. The reaction is characterized by a complete conversion of the white phosphorus and is not accompanied by the release of hydrogen sulfide. The crystal structures of both products were determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction. Biological activity of obtained compounds was investigated, and some promising compounds with antifungal activity identified. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
