Abstract
A simple and additive-free protocol has been developed for the preparation of β-keto phospho-rodithioates through the three-component reaction of easily available sulfoxonium ylides,P4S10,and alco-hols.The present geminal hydro-phosphorodithiolation reaction was performed at room temperature to construct a series of β-keto phosphorodithioates in the absence of any metal reagents,bases,or additives.
