“…Oxford Diffraction Xcalibur Atlas Gemini ultra diffractometer Absorption correction: analytical [CrysAlis PRO (Oxford Diffraction, 2010); based on expressions derived by Clark & Reid (1995)] T min = 0.499, T max = 0.816 27233 measured reflections 4926 independent reflections 4175 reflections with I > 2(I) R int = 0.051 It was shown that Lawesson's reagent reacts with 1,2-naphthoquinone-1-methide precursors to give 1H-naphtho [1,2-e] [1,3,2]oxathiaphosphinine 2-sulfide derivatives which are interesting as herbicides (El-Kateb & El-Rahman, 2006;El-Kateb et al, 1991;Maigali et al, 2009). However, preparation of 4H-1,3,2-benzoxathiaphosphinine 2-sulfides from salicylic alcohols was not described in literature.…”
