Popis: The behaviour of triethyleneimine thiophosphoramide (thio-TEPA) in acid medium has been studied. Evidence is presented of an intramolecular alkylation of the sulfur on protonation of the molecule. The five-membered ring formed in this way is hydrolyzed slowly in neutral solution at room temperature, liberating an SH group. In the SH derivative two ethyleneimine rings are retained, which were demonstrated to be more reactive towards water and sulfhydryl than were those of thio-TEPA.
