Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Dimethyl phosphite (11.0 g 0.1 mol) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of 2.4 g (0.1 mole) of sodium hydride in 50 mL of dry THF at 25-30° C. under N2. The mixture was stirred under reflux until H2 evolution ceased. It was then cooled to 6° C. and was added with stirring to carbon disulfide (38 g, 0.5 mol) at 2-8° C. over 15 min. Methyl iodide (14.2 g 0.1 mol) was then added at 5° C. over 15 min. The mixture was quenched with 350 mL of ice-water and extracted with ether (100 mL×3). The ether layers were combined, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, evaporated to remove ether and distilled in vacuo. The fraction boiling between 92-94° C./50μ was collected, 6.5 g, Y=32.5%.
