Participants

Reaction Steps

A stream of H2S is passed into a mixture of 27.5 g of ethoxycarbonylaminoacetonitrile (210 mmol), pyridine (21ml, 210 mmol) and triethylamine (14.5 ml, 105 mmol) according to the procedure of Example 23. After stirring for 4 hours at room temperature and washing with water, a beige precipitate is obtained which is filtered off to give 6.6 g of ethoxycarbonylaminothioacetamide, which is a beige powder melting at 116° C.
