Water → 3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl isothiocyanate

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.052 Mol of thiophosgene were mixed with 60 ml of water and were stirred for 15 minutes. 0.040 Mol of 3,5-bistrifluoromethylaniline were dropped with 30 ml chloroform, and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours at 15° C. The organic solution was washed with HCl 2M, dried and the solvent was removed under vacuum to obtain 3,5-bistrifluoromethylphenylisothiocyanate as a yellow-red oil, that was used as crude product.
