Ethanethiol → HCID 53799060, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3.1 g (0.05 mol) of ethylmercaptan were added dropwise to a solution of 3.4 g (0.05 mol) of sodium methylate in 50 ml of absolute ethanol. The mixture was subsequently stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. A solution of 16.7 g of 1,1,1,2-tetrachloro-3-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-5,5-dimethyl-hexan-4-one (Example 3) in 200 ml of ethanol was then added dropwise to this mixture, and the resulting mixture was subsequently stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. The inorganic salt was then filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated. After triturating in hexane, the residue crystallized. 8.9 g (50% of theory) of 1,1,1-trichloro-2-ethylmercapto-3-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-5,5-dimethyl-hexan-4-one of melting point 101°-105° C. were obtained.
