Chiral S‐stannyl dithiophosphates and dithiophosphonates on the basis of monoterpenols.

Chiral S‐tributylstannyl dithiophosphates and dithiophosphonates were obtained by the reactions of optically active dithiophosphoric and dithiophosphonic acids containing (S)‐(–)‐menthyl and (R)‐(+)‐menthyl substituents with gaseous ammonia and tributyl chlorostannane. The reactions of chiral ammonium dithiophosphate containing (1R)‐endo‐(+)‐fenchyl substituent with tributyl chlorostannane or tetrachlorostannane result in corresponding S‐tributylstannyl dithiophosphate or tetrakis(dithiophosphato)stannane. Molecular structure of ammonium O,O‐di‐(–)‐menthyldithiophosphate was studied by X‐ray single crystal diffraction. Bactericidal activity of S‐tributylstannyl dithiophosphates was tested.
