Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 54111090, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

23.2 g (0.1 mole) of N,S-dimethyl-isothiourea hydroiodide were initially introduced into 100 ml of water and 250 ml of benzene. 15.6 (0.1 mole) of N-methyl-bis-(chlorocarbonyl)-amine in 100 ml of dry benzene and 12 g (0.3 mole) of sodium hydroxide dissolved in 100 ml of water were simultaneously slowly added dropwise from two dropping funnels with vigorous stirring. The reaction took place strongly exothermically. The mixture was stirred for a further hour, any product which precipitated was filtered off, and the benzene phase was separated off, dried over calcium chloride and evaporated in vacuo. The residue, together with the filter residue, was recrystallized from isopropanol. 14 g (75%) of 1,3-dimethyl-4-methylmercapto tetrahydro-1,3,5-triazine-2,6-dione were obtained as a colorless powder of melting point 137°-139° C.
