An Efficient, Basic Resin-Mediated, One-Pot Synthesis of Dithiocarbazates Through Alcoholic Tosylates

Abstract

A quick and efficient, one-pot synthesis of dithiocarbazates was accomplished in high yields by the reaction of various alcoholic tosylates of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols, with substituted hydrazines using an Amberlite IRA 400 (basic resin)/CS ₂ system. The reaction conditions are mild with simpler work-up procedures than previously reported methods.
