Carbon Disulfide → HCID 86761183, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-methoxy-2-methylaminopyridine (25.6 g, 0.185 mol) was dissolved in 120 ml of dehydrated THF, and 60% sodium hydride (7.4 g, 0.185 mol) was added. This was then refluxed for 1 hour, and upon becoming transparent, allowed to cool to room temperature. Carbon disulfide (14.1 g, 0.185 mol) was added dropwise into this solution, which was then stirred for two hours at room temperature. 300 ml of hexane were added and stirring continued until crystals precipitated out. The precipitated crystals were filtered out, then washed with 200 ml of hexane, and dried overnight in a dessicator to obtain 43.6 g (yield 99.7%) of the titled compound in the form of a pale yellow powder.
