Ethyl isothiocyanate → HCID 19652745, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 8.84 grams (0.060 mole) of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthylamine in 100 ml of acetone, under a blanket of nitrogen, is added a solution of 6.27 grams (0.072 mole) of ethyl isothiocyanate in 50 ml of acetone. The reaction mixture is stirred overnight, and the solvent then evaporated at reduced pressure. Toluene is added to the residue, and the mixture is then evaporated at reduced pressure. The residue is crystallized from nitromethane to give 7.08 grams of the product, melting point 120°C. to 122°C.
