Betti base in the synthesis of chiral bisphosphorylated thioureas

Phosphorylation of a naphthol hydroxy group of thiophosphorylated thiourea obtained by reaction of diethyl thiophosphoryl isothiocyanate with 1-(α-aminobenzyl)-2-naphthol (Betti base) afforded a number of chiral bisphosphorylated thioureas. Molecular structure of the obtained compounds was studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The capacity of the studied compounds for dimerization due to the intermolecular N–H···S hydrogen bonding was revealed.
