Synthesis of S-alkyl phosphorothioates/phosphorodithioates via ring-opening reaction of sulfonium salts with S8, H-phosphonates or P4S10, and alcohols

A simple and practical method for the synthesis of S -alkyl phosphorothioates/phosphorodithioates through the three-component reaction of cyclic sulfonium salts with S 8 , H -phosphonates, or P 4 S 10 , and alcohols was readily developed.
