Isopropanol → Sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)carbamodithioate

Participants

Reaction Steps

50.0 grams (0.207 mol) of di(2-ethylhexyl)amine, 16.9 grams of a 50 wt % NaOH solution (0.211 mol NaOH), and 60 mL reagent 2-propanol were combined in a 250 mL 3-neck round bottom reaction flask equipped with an overhead stirrer, a thermocouple probe, a reflux condenser, a Clasien adapter and a 25 mL addition funnel. 12.7 mL (0.211 mol) carbon disulfide was added to the addition funnel dropwise over a 30 minute period. The reaction temperature was maintained at 20-25° C. over the course of the CS2 addition. The product was post-reacted at 25° C. for 1.5 hours.
