Phosphorus compounds

The present invention relates to new nitrogen-containing organophosphorus compounds having aryloxy substituents bonded to phosphorus in ester structures. They can be hydrolyzed to the corresponding acids.
A new process for the production of such compounds is also a part of the present invention.
The general method for the production of the novel nitrogen-containing organophosphorus compositions is in accordance with the equation shown below: ##STR2## R' is aryl of 6 to 10 carbon atoms, R" is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl or haloaryl of 1 to 15 carbon atoms, or no more than one carboethoxymethyl group, and where the halogen on the aryl group is bromine, chlorine, or fluorine,
R"' is alkyl, alkenyl or aryl of 1 to 15 carbon atoms and substituted aryl forms where the substituent is fluorine, chlorine, bromine, nitro, cyano, hydroxyl, alkyloxy or mixtures of such substituents, and
Z is CO, CS or SO.sub.2.
A specific compound is: ##STR3## When both R" radicals of the reactant, H.sub.2 NZNR".sub.2, are hydrogen, the product can also contain two phosphorus moieties according to the formula ##STR4## exemplified by ##STR5## For the production of the desired monophosphonate esters of the present invention, as the major product, it is preferred to employ the reactants (R'O).sub.3 P and R"'CHO, each in substantially less than two molar proportions relative to the third reactant, H.sub.2 NZNH.sub.2. A minor proportion of the diphosphonate ester is also obtained. However, if at least two molar proportions of both (R'O).sub.3 P and R"'CHO are used relative to H.sub.2 NZNH.sub.2, and the temperature and time employed are sufficient to complete the reaction, the diphosphorus-containing product may be obtained essentially exclusively.
Formation of the compounds of this invention is usually initiated when a mixture of the three reactants, preferably in an inert solvent such as toluene and chlorobenzene, is warmed to about 70.degree. C. The reaction is usually complete after one hour at 80.degree.-120.degree. C., but warming at higher or lower temperatures is sometimes advantageous. An alternate procedure, which may facilitate control of heat of reaction, is to gradually add the aldehyde reactant to a stirred mixture of the phosphorus ester and urea reactants in a solvent at reaction temperature, generally from about 70.degree. C. to 120.degree. C.
When R' is an unsubstituted alkyl radical, the reaction is generally slow unless acid catalysts are used, particularly boron trifluoride etherate or carboxylic acids, such as acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid and benzoic acid.
Preferably, R' is an aryl radical since phosphorus ester reactants containing these radicals are relatively reactive in the present invention and usually give good yields of products without the necessity for use of catalysts or long reaction times such as is frequently the case when R' is an alkyl radical. This is surprising since alkyl esters of trivalent phosphorus acids are normally much more reactive than aryl esters in other types of reactions.
The ester products of the present invention may be hydrolyzed to the corresponding acids. Thus, when one R' is hydrocarbyloxy, the ester may be hydrolyzed to the corresponding phosphinic acid. ##STR6## If both radicals are hydrocarbyloxy, the esters are hydrolyzed to phosphinic acids. ##STR7## exemplified by ##STR8## Specific examples showing the preparation of representative compounds of the present invention are set forth herewith, but are not limitative of the scope of the invention.

EXAMPLE 16
Diphenyl .alpha.-dimethylaminosulfonylaminobenzylphosphonate. ##STR24##
A mixture of 0.25 mole each of triphenyl phosphite, benzaldehyde, and N,N-dimethylsulfamide in 130g of chlorobenzene is warmed at 115.degree. C. for 1.5 hrs.

Diphenyl 1-(dimethylaminosulfonylamino)butylphosphonate. ##STR25##
When a mixture of 0.3 mole each of triphenyl phosphite, n-butyraldehyde, and N,N-dimethylsulfamide in 150g of chlorobenzene is warmed to about 80.degree. C., heat of reaction is observed and the temperature increases to 86.degree. in 10 minutes. The reaction mixture is kept at 85.degree.-90.degree. for 1 hr more, and then it is stripped to 110.degree./2mm. Ether (150ml) is stirred into the cooled residue, causing 72.4g (59% yield) of solid product to form. Recrystallization of a portion from benzene gives a white solid: mp 114.degree.-117.degree.; .sup.31 P nmr (DMSO-d.sub.6) -18.4 ppm.
When N,N-dimethylthiourea is similarly treated with triphenyl phosphite and methacrolein, the product is diphenyl 1-(3,3-dimethylthioureido)-2-methyl-2-propenylphosphonate.

EXAMPLE 22
Pre-emergent herbicidal activity of representative compounds of this invention is determined by the following procedure:
A good grade of top soil is placed in aluminum pans and compacted to a depth of 3/8 to 1/2 inch from the top of the pan. A pre-determined number of seeds of each of several plant species are placed on top of the soil in the pans. The seeds are covered with soil and the pans leveled. The herbicidal composition is applied by spraying the surface of the top layer of soil with a solution containing a sufficient amount of active ingredient to obtain a rate of application of 10 lbs. per acre. The pans are then placed on a sand bench in the greenhouse and watered from below as needed. The plants are observed at the end of approximately 14 days and the results recorded.
Pre-emergent activity of the compounds prepared in the designated Examples is observed against the species as shown in the table below, wherein X denotes that herbicidal activity is observed.
In general, compounds of the formula ##STR30## are useful in this relationship.

Compounds of this invention are also useful as synergists in enhancing the fire-retardance of halogen-containing polymers. For example, the fire retardant property of polyvinyl chloride is improved by use of materials of this invention, which provide the advantage of introducing phosphorus, for example, in the proportion of about 1% to 10% by weight relative to the polyvinyl chloride. Compounds useful for this purpose include the products of Examples 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 16, 17, 19 and 21.
