The solution is then stirred for 16 hours at a temperature of about 20° C. The resulting crystals are filtered off, washed twice with ethanol (20 cc in total) and dried under reduced pressure (20 mm Hg; 2.7 kPa) at a temperature of about 20° C. A crystalline crude product (7.8 g) is thus obtained, which is redissolved in boiling ethanol (96 cc); decolourising charcoal (0.4 g) is added to the solution thus obtained, which is filtered hot, and the filtrate is then cooled for 30 minutes at 0° C. The resulting crystals are filtered off, washed twice with ethanol (20 cc in total) and dried under reduced pressure (1 mm Hg; 0.13 kPa) at 45° C. N-Methyl-2-(pyrid-2-yl)-tetrahydrothiopyran-2-carbothioamide (6.3 g), melting at 153° C., is thus obtained.
