Procedure
Hydrogen sulphide gas was passed through a solution of 3-methylphenylacetonitrile (26.2 g.) in dry pyridine (30 ml.) and triethylamine (20.2 g.) during 5 hours. The solution was allowed to stand at room temperature overnight and then evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in benzene and precipitated with light petroleum (b.p. 60°-80°). The product, m.p. 66°-69°, was recrystallised from a mixture of ethanol and water to give pure 3-methylphenyl(thioacetamide), m.p. 76°-78°.
