Abstract: This invention pertains to novel processes for preparing phosphorus derivatives of aminothiomethylcarbamates known to be useful as pesticides. The processes use products prepared by a novel method which reacts disulfides of various amides of phosphoric acids with chlorine or bromine. Such sulfenyl halide products are advantageous and obtained in unexpected yields. Therefore, the method is also unobvious. When the novel sulfenyl bromides of this invention are intermediates unexpected yields of pesticides are obtained.

Abstract: This invention pertains to novel processes for preparing phosphorus derivatives of aminothiomethylcarbamates using as intermediates corresponding phosphorus derivatives of aminothiocarbamic halides. The carbamates are useful as pesticides against insects, mites, and nematodes. Two processes for preparing the corresponding intermediates are described. One preparation generally reacts an appropriate N-chlorothiophosphoramide with N-methylcarbamoyl halide. The other preparation generally reacts an N-chlorothiomethylcarbamoyl halide with an appropriate phosphoramide. The intermediate will react with various alcohols to produce the desired carbamates in the process of the invention.

The N-[(phosphinyl)amino]thio- and N-[(phosphinothioyl)amino]thio- methylcarbamates are readily prepared by the general procedure of reacting a phosphinic acid amide with sulfur dichloride so as to obtain the corresponding N-(chlorothio)phosphinic acid amide which reactant will react with a methylcarbamate so as to produce the corresponding object compounds, the N-[(phosphinothioyl)amino]thio- methylcarbamates of this invention. Various formulations for pesticidal use are described along with appropriate rates of application.
