Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of N-cyclohexylacrylamide (15.3 g), concentrated hydrochloric acid (19.4 g, 37.6%), thiourea (7.6 g) and water (10 g) was heated to 60° C. for 2 hours, cooled to 20° C. and sodium hydroxide (50%, 16 g) was slowly added under nitrogen keeping the temperature below 30° C. The resulting mixture was heated to 60° C. for 1 hour and extracted with methylene chloride (2×50 ml). Removal of the solvent afforded N-cyclohexyl-3-mercaptopropionamide (16.9 g) which was purified by vacuum distillation at 0.05 mm and 130° C. to yield 13.7 g of N-cyclohexyl-3-mercaptopropionamide; m.p. 73.5°-75.5° C.
