Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00699936

The effects of the nature of the solvents, the degree of dilution, the duration of the process, and the temperature on the ratio of the products obtained in the reactions of S-benzyl diphenylthiophosphinite or S,S-dibenzyl phenyldithiophosphonite with molecular oxygen have been studied.Possible reaction schemes are discussed. - Key words: thiobenzyl esters of P^III acids; solvents; degree of dilution; isomerization; phosphoranyl radicals, radical ions; complexes.
