1,2-Bis (2-Mercapto-2-methylpropylamino)benzene (0.47 g, 1.69×10-3 mol), and 0.09 g (1.85×10-3 mol, 110 M%) sodium hydride were dissolved in 25 ml tetrahydrofuran. Methyl iodide (0.080 ml, 1.27×10-3 mol, 75 M%) was added, and the mixture was stirred under nitrogen for 1 hour. The excess hydride was destroyed by the slow addition of 10 ml 0.5 M HCl. The mixture was shaken with a mixture of 100 ml ether and 100 ml 0.5 N HCl. The aqueous layer was extracted with an additional 50 ml portion of ether, and the combined ether layers were washed with 100 ml saturated NaCl. The ether layer was then dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. Rotary evaporation yielded 0.30 g (94% yield) of 1-[2-methylthio-2 -methylpropylamino]-2-(2-mercapto-2-methylpropylamino)benzene as a yellow oil. Isolation was performed by radial chromatograph on a 1 mm silica plate, using petroleum ether: ethyl acetate-80:20 as the eluting solvent to give yielding a mixture of the 1-[2-methylthio-2-methylpropyl- amino]-2-(2-mercapto-2-methylpropylamino)benzene, S,S'-dimethyl, and the dithiol starting material.
