Sodium thiocyanate → HCID 178483692, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.84 g (35.0 mmol) of sodium thiocyanate are added at room temperature to a solution of 3.0 g (17.5 mmol) of bis(dimethylamino)dichloromethane in 50 ml of acetonitrile. The reaction mixture is stirred for 24 hours, and the precipitate NaCl is subsequently filtered off. The solvent is subsequently distilled off, and the residue is extracted a number of times with 50 ml of dichloromethane. After distillation of the dichloromethane, the residue is dried at 60° C. and 7 Pa, giving 2.99 g of the liquid bis(dimethylamino)chlorocarbenium thiocyanate, corresponding to a yield of 88.2%.
