C. by continuously removing the water formed and subsequently working up in the manner that is described in the specification.

Abstract: A simplified process for preparing the known insecticide 0,S-dimethylthiolphosphoric acid amide of the formula ##STR1## inexpensively, in high purity and with minimum waste water and gas which would have to be specially treated to avoid environmental pollution, comprises(a) contacting 0,0 dimethyl-thiophosphoric acid amide of the formula ##STR2## in which Me is sodium or potassium, separating the aqueous phase,(b) optionally adding an organic solvent to the aqueous phase, and reacting the mass with methyl bromide or methyl chloride thereby to form the 0,S-dimethyl-thiolphosphoric acid amide, and either(c) extracting the amide with a sparingly water-miscible solvent thereby to dissolve the amide, or(d) concentrating the reaction mixture from the methylation step (b), by distillation, until the alkali metal halide formed has separated out, and filtering off the alkali metal halide.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of E-isomers of 1-cyclohexyl-2-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-1-penten-3-one derivatives of the formula ##STR1## in which X and Y independently of one another represent hydrogen or halogen by contacting isomers of 1-cyclohexyl-2-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-1-penten-3-one derivatives of the formula ##STR2## in which X and Y have the previously indicated meaning with at least one secondary amine, if desired in the presence of water and/or in the presence of a water immiscible solvent.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of a compound of the formula ##STR1## in which R is alkyl,X is oxygen or sulphur andR' is hydrogen or alkyl,comprising reacting a thiophosphate of the formula ##STR2## in which M is a cation other than NH.sub.4.sup..sym., with an ethylmercapto compound of the formula ##STR3## in which Y is a fugitive group, in a polar reaction medium at a temperature between about 30.degree. and 80.degree.
