Toluene → 4-Cyanobenzenecarbodithioic acid phenylmethyl ester

참여 물질

반응 단계

A mixture of 4 cyanobenzoic acid (1.47 g), benzyl mercaptan (1.24 g) and phosphorus pentasulfide (4.44 g) in toluene (40 ml) was refluxed for 20 h. A dark red color was developed immediately after heating. After the reaction was complete (as monitored by GC-MS), it was cooled to room temperature and purified by a column chromatography packed with neutral alumina, eluting with benzene. Removal of the solvent by distillation gave the single compound, benzyl-4-cyanodithiobenzoate (1.15 g, 43%). It was further characterized by 1H and 13C-NMR.
