The present invention relates to new cyclic organophosphorus esters having the following structures: ##EQU1## where R is aryl or chloroalkyl of 2 to 10 carbon atoms, R' is aryloxy or chloroalkyloxy of 2 to 10 carbon atoms, R" is hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, furanyl or aryl of 1 to 15 carbon atoms and substituted aryl forms where the substituent is fluorine, chlorine, bromine, cyano, hydroxyl, alkyloxy, alkylthio or mixtures of such substituents, and Y is O or S. The organophosphorus compounds have biological activity and are also useful as fire retardants, and as lead scavengers in gasoline.
The present invention relates to new compounds containing urea and organophosphorus amide moieties in cyclic structures as shown in the following equation: ##EQU1## where R is aryl or chloroalkyl of 2 to 10 carbon atoms, R' is aryl of 6 to 10 carbon atoms, R" is hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, furanyl or aryl of 1 to 15 carbon atoms and substituted aryl forms where the substituent is fluorine, chlorine, bromine, cyano, hydroxyl, alkyloxy, alkylthio or mixtures of such substituents, and Y is O or S. The cyclic organophosphorus amides have biological activity and are also useful as fire retardants and as lead scavengers in gasoline.
Described is the genus of methyl(methylthioethyl)-1,3-dioxolanes and oxathiolanes defined according to the structure: ##STR1## wherein X and Y represent sulphur or oxygen with the proviso that at least one of X and Y is oxygen; wherein m is 0 or 1; and wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are the same or different and each represent hydrogen or methyl and uses of such methyl(methylthioethyl)-1,3-dioxolanes and oxathiolanes in augmenting or enhancing the aroma or taste of foodstuffs.

Disclosed is a process for making an .alpha.-hydroxy acid which is essentially all L or all D with respect to the chiral C atom bonded to the carboxy group of said acid which comprises (1) hydrocarboxylating an enol acylate, which has a chiral C atom that is essentially all L or all D, with CO and water or an organic hydroxyl compound, thereby producing a reaction mixture containing diastereomeric .alpha.-acyloxy acids or esters having two chiral centers and having essentially no enantiomeric pairs, (2) separating the diastereomers by conventional physical means and (3) hydrolyzing at least one of said separated diastereomers to make at least the .alpha.-hydroxy acid which is essentially all L or all D with respect to the chiral C atom bonded to the carboxy group of said acid. Also disclosed is a process for making an .alpha.-hydroxy acid which is essentially all L or all D with respect to the chiral C atom bonded to the carboxy group of said acid which comprises (1) hydrocarboxylating an enol acylate, the enol portion of which has a chiral C atom that is essentially all L or all D, with CO and water or an organic hydroxyl compound, thereby producing a reaction mixture containing diastereomeric .alpha.-acyloxy acids or esters having two chiral centers and having essentially no enantiomeric pairs, (2) hydrolyzing the product of (1) to make a diastereomeric mixture containing .alpha.-hydroxy acids, and (3) separating by conventional physical means from the product of (2) at least one .alpha.-hydroxy acid which is essentially all L or all D with respect to the chiral C atom bonded to the carboxy group of said acid.
