Reactions Of Dichloromethane with Thioanions. 1. Preparation Of Bis(N,N-Dialkylthiocarbamoylthio)Methanes

Abstract

The preparation of some bis(N,N-dialkylthiocarbamoylthio)methanes, mainly published in the patent literature, is described. The method is based on the reaction of sodium N,N-dialkyldithiocarbamates in water with dichloromethane catalyzed by poly(ethylene glycol) 1,500. The yields are 50-80%.

Key Words:

• Thioanions
• dichloromethane
• phase transfer catalyst
• IR spectra
