Process for the sulfinylation of heterocyclic compounds

Cyclic sulphates of formula: ##STR1## are prepared by oxidation of a cyclic sulphite of formula: ##STR2## with a hypohalite of an alkali or alkaline-earth metal and a catalytic quantity of a ruthernium derivative (RuO.sub.2, RuCl.sub.3). In formulae (I) and (II), R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 are identical or different and each represents hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, aryloxy or alkoxycarbonyl.

The O-alkyl S,S-dialkylphosphorodithioates, e.g., ethoprophos, are facilely prepared, in improved yields and having great purity, by reacting an alkylphosphate dihalogenide, e.g., a dichloride, with a 1.5 to 8 mol excess of a thiol, in the presence of a 0.1 to 5 mol excess of an acid acceptor, with both molar excesses being per mole of said dihalogenide.
