Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6.12 g. (0.03 m.) of 3,4-dichlorophenyl isothiocyanate, 2.8 ml. (3.68 g., 0.04 m.) of mercaptoacetic acid and a few drops of triethylamine is heated in a pressure bottle at 110°-130°C. for 2 hours. The cooled reaction mixture is filtered to give 3-(3',4'-dichlorophenyl)-rhodanine, m.p. 176°-178°C.
