Participants

Reaction Steps

Potassium 3-(N-acetylglycyl)dithiocarbazate (102.3 g) was added bit by bit to concd. sulfuric acid (1 liter) at 0° to 5° C and the mixture was stirred for an hour at the same temperature. The reaction mixture was added dropwise on crushed ice (c.a. 10 kg) under stirring.
