Ethyl 4-bromobutyrate → HCID 24835912, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 10 g of ammonium dithiocarbamate (i.e. 34 g of a 30% aqueous solution) and 17.7 g of ethyl 4-bromobutyrate in 70 ml of ethanol is stirred for 2 days at room temperature. The reaction medium is extracted with methylene chloride and the organic phase is dried and then concentrated to give 19 g of ethyl 4-(aminothiocarbonylmercapto)butyrate in the form of a semicrystalline yellow oil.
