The invention relates to a method of preparing O,O-dialkyl S-[2-(alkylthio)alkyl] phosphorodithioates by treating O,O-dialkyl dithiophosphoric acids with a base in the substantial absence of organic solvent to obtain O,O-dialkyl dithiophosphoric acid salts that are in turn treated with thioalcohol derivatives to form the O,O-dialkyl S-[2-(alkylthio)alkyl] phosphorodithioates.

The present invention relates to a process for inhibiting or eliminating the growth of microorganisms in pesticide suspensions. More particularly, the process of the present invention includes the addition of a combination of peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and water to the pesticide suspension. Further, the process of the present invention includes the application of the peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and water combination to the interior surface of the vessel in which the pesticide suspension is contained. Still further, the process of the present invention includes the application of the peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and water combination to a surface in which the pesticide suspension is in contact.

The present invention relates to an integrated process for synthesizing dimethyl (2,2,2-trichloro-1-hydroxyethyl)-phosphonate and a process for impregnating the dimethyl (2,2,2-trichloro-1-hydroxyethyl)-phosphonate on to inert carrier granules. The process involves adding dimethyl phosphite to a reaction mixture containing chloral under anhydrous, inert conditions. The molar ratio of chloral to dimethyl phosphite used in the reaction mixture is from about 1.0:1.0 to about 1.1:1.0. The impregnation process involves transferring molten dimethyl (2,2,2-trichloro-1-hydroxyethyl)-phosphonate into a process vessel and discharging weighed aliquots into a formulation vessel to form a granular product containing dimethyl (2,2,2-trichloro-1-hydroxyethyl)-phosphonate.
