Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 117 g (1.16 moles) of triethylamine and 133 g (0.77 mole) of 2-(1-ethylpentyl)oxazolidine [containing mainly the tautomer, N-α-ethylpentylidene-2-hydroxyethylamine, and prepared according to A. Cope, J.A.C.S. 64, 1503 (1942)] in one liter of ether was added 88 g (1.16 moles) of carbon disulfide at 10°-20° over a period of 35 minutes. Stirring was continued for 17 hours at ambient temperatures. Solids (13 g of triethylammonium N-(2-hydroxyethyl)dithiocarbamate were filtered off and the resulting filtrate was removed of volatiles at 25°/150 mm Hg to give 242g of crude triethylammonium 2-(1-ethylpentyl)-3-oxazolidinecarbodithioate.
