The reaction of a phosphonodithioacetate with amines (in particular functionalised amines) leads to thiocarbamoylmethylphosphonates (unsubstituted at the carbon α- to the phosphoryl group), which can be used as Horner-Emmons reagents. This pathway is a very convenient and general synthesis of functionalised thiocarbamoylphosphonates and α,β-unsaturated thioamides (in particular new amino acid derivatives).
