title: A new mechanism for nucleophilic substitution at a thiophosphoryl centre revealed by the reaction of diisopropylamine with PSCl3.
abstract: The reaction of PSCl3 with Pr(i)2NH at 60 degrees C affords the disubstitution product (Pr(i)2N)2P(S)Cl without first forming the monosubstitution product Pr(i)2NP(S)Cl2; a P(III) compound (possibly PCl3) generated in situ seems to be a crucial intermediate.
