Reaktionsschritte

In 500 ml of toluene was dissolved 82.5 g of ethyl p-aminobenzoate and after adding thereto 83.4 g of N,N-diethylthiocarbamoyl chloride, the mixture was refluxed for 8 hours. After ice cooling the reaction mixture, 100 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid was added to the mixture and the toluene layer thus formed was collected and washed with water. After distilling off toluene under reduced pressure, the oily material thus formed was crystallized from methanol to provide 77.1 g of ethyl p-isothiocyanatobenzoate. The yield was 74.5% and the melting point was 52° C.
