There is provided a fully integrated process for preparing a 2-dialkoxyphosphinylimino-1,3-dithietane in good overall yields with considerable savings in materials, time and labor involving a plurality of steps comprising the overall reaction of a dialkoxyphosphoryl chloride and an alkali metal or ammonium thiocyanate to obtain a dialkoxyphosphinyl isothiocyanate, reacting the latter with 1.1 to 1.2 molar equivalents of an alkali mercaptan in the presence of a water:acetone mixture (1:9 to 1:3), and finally reacting resultant dialkoxyphosphinyldithiocarbamate with methylene bromide or methylene iodide to obtain a 2-dialkoxyphosphylimino-1,3-dithietane. |
