- 17. A method according to claim 16 in which R' is ethyl, R" is n-propyl, and R.sub.1 is C.sub.1 to C.sub.3 alkyl.
- 18. The method of claim 16 in which the compound is O-ethyl-S-n-propyl-S'-2-ethylthioethyl dithiophosphate.
- 19. The method of claim 16 in which the compound is O-ethyl-S-n-propyl-S'-2-ethylthiopropyl dithiophosphate.
- 20. The method of claim 16 in which the compound is O-ethyl-S-n-propyl-S'-2-methylthioethyl dithiophosphate.
- 21. The method of claim 16 in which the compound is O-ethyl-S-n-propyl-S'-2-methylthiopropyl dithiophosphate.
- 22. the method of claim 16 in which the compound is O-ethyl-S-n-propyl-S'-2-n-propylthiopropyl dithiophosphate.
- 23. The method of claim 16 in which the compound is O-ethyl-S-n-propyl-S'-isopropylthioethyl dithiophosphate.
- 24. The method of claim 16 in which the compound is O-ethyl-S-n-propyl-S'-ethylthiomethyl dithiophosphate.
- 25. The method of claim 16 in which the compound is O-ethyl-S-n-propyl-S'-3-methylthiopropyl dithiophosphate.
- 26. The method of claim 16 in which the compound is O-ethyl-S-n-propyl-S'-2-isopropylthiopropyl dithiophosphate.
- 27. The method of claim 16 in which the compound is O-ethyl-S-n-propyl-S'-2-propylthioethyl dithiophosphate.
- 28. The method of claim 16 in which the compound is O-ethyl-S-n-propyl-S'-(4-chlorophenyl)-thiomethyl dithiophosphate.
