Production of O,O-dialkyl-S-(benzazimidomethyl)-thiolphosphoric acid esters

摘要

In the reaction of a halomethylbenzazamide with an O,O-di-lower alkyl-thiolphosphoric acid ester to form an ester in accordance with the equation <IMAGE> +TR <IMAGE> <IMAGE> +TR M(+)Halo(-) in which Y is oxygen or sulfur, and M is an alkali metal or ammonium cation, the improvement which comprises starting the reaction at a pH from about 2.5 to 5.5, whereby the desired reaction product is produced in higher yield and assay.
