Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Dipotassium Salts of N -Alkyl- N -{[ O -alkoxy(hydroxy)phosphoryl]methyl}ditiocarbamic Acids

A one-pot method for the synthesis of dipotassium salts of N -alkyl- N -{[ O -alkoxy(hydroxy)phosphoryl]methyl}dithiocarbamic acids has been elaborated. Dipotassium salts of N -isopropyl-, N -butyl-, and N -cyclohexyl- N -{[hydroxy( O -ethoxy)phosphoryl]methyl}dithiocarbamic acids as well as N -{[ O -butoxy(hydroxy)phosphoryl]methyl}- N -(2-methoxyethyl)dithiocarbamic acid have been synthesized and isolated. Crystal and molecular structure of the latter compound have been elucidated.
