Reaction Steps

A solution of 4.1 g (27.3 mmol) thiodiacetic acid and 4.9 g (27.3 mmol) o-phenylene diamine in 40 ml 4N HCl was stirred at reflux for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature an neutralised with conc. NH4OH. The formed precipitate was filtered, washed with water (3×40 ml) and dried under vacuum. Yield—2.4g (25.2%).
