1,1-Bis(methylthio)-2-nitroethylene → HCID 67796370, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.0 g (0.011 mol) of 1-amino-3-methoxyaminopropane dihydrochloride and 2.53 g (0.023 mol) of potassium tert-butylate are refluxed in 120 ml of ethanol for 1 hour. Subsequently, 1.86 g (0.011 mol) of 1,1-bis(methylthio)-2-nitroethylene is added and the mixture is refluxed for a further 6 hours until no more gas evolves. The salts are separated off by filtration and the solvent is removed. The crude product is purified by flash chromatography using toluene/ethanol as developer. The desired product is obtained as slightly yellowish crystals.
