Claims
- 1. A compound having the structure ##STR102## Wherein R.sup.2 is a metal ion, lower alkyl or H; R.sub.a is R.sup.1 --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --or R.sup.1 --(CH.sub.2).sub.m OCH.sub.2 --, wherein n is an integer from 1 to 4 and m is an integer from 0 to 3; and R.sup.1 is R.sup.5 -Q.sup.1 --Q.sup.2 --Q.sup.3 --wherein Q.sup.1, Q.sup.2 and Q.sup.3 are independently: ##STR103## or a bond, with the stipulation that if Q.sup.1 is a bond, then Q.sup.2 and Q.sup.3 must be bonds, and if Q.sup.2 is a bond, then Q.sup.3 is a bond; R.sup.6 is H, lower alkyl, fluoro or fluoroalkyl; R.sup.7 is H, fluoro, lower alkyl or alkylthio; R.sup.8 is H, fluoro, trimethylsilyl or lower alkyl; R.sup.9 is H or lower alkyl; ##STR104## R.sup.16 --C.tbd.C--CH.sub.2 --(wherein R.sup.16 is lower alkyl or H); R.sup.10 and R.sup.11 are independently hydrogen, lower alkyl, fluoro, lower alkenyl or fluoroalkyl or R.sup.10 and R.sup.11 can be taken together to form (CH.sub.2).sub.s, where s is 2 to 7; with the proviso that if all of Q.sup.1, Q.sup.2 and Q.sup.3 are bonds, then both R.sup.10 and R.sup.11 cannot be H.
- 2. A compound as defined in claim 1 wherein R.sup.2 is lower alkyl.
- 3. A compound as defined in claim 1 wherein R.sup.2 is H.
- 4. The compound as defined in claim 1 wherein R.sub.a is R.sup.1 --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --.
- 5. The compound as defined in claim 1 wherein R.sub.a is R.sup.1 --(CH.sub.2).sub.m --O--CH.sub.2 --.
- 6. The compound as defined in claim 1 having the name (E,E)-(5,9,13-trimethyl-4,8,12-tetradecatrienyl)phosphinic acid, potassium salt and its ethyl ester, (E,E)-[[(3,7,11-trimethyl2,6,10-dodecatrienyl)oxy]methyl]phosphinic acid ethyl ester; or (E,E)-(4,8,12-trimethyl-3,7,11-tridecatrienyl)phosphinic acid, ethyl ester.
