Isopropanol → Sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)carbamodithioate

Participants

Reaction Steps

149.2 grams (0.62 mol) of di(2-ethylhexyl)amine, 50.5 grams of a 50 wt % NaOH solution (0.63 mol NaOH), and 80 mL reagent 2-propanol, were all added to a 1 liter bottom-out resin kettle reaction flask equipped with an overhead stirrer, a thermocouple probe, a reflux condenser, a Clasien adapter and a 60 mL addition funnel. 37.9 mL (0.63 mol) of carbon disulfide (CS2) was then charged to the addition funnel and added dropwise over a 30 minute period. The reaction temperature was maintained at 18-20° C. over the course of the CS2 addition. The resultant reaction mixture was post-reacted at 30° C. for 1 hour.
