Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ethanol solution of 2-bromomethyl-1,8-dithia-dibenzo[e,h]azulene (0.5 g, 1,4 mmole in 8 ml of ethanol), sodium cyanide (0.105 g, 2.1 mmole) was added and the reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 8 hours. When all reactant had been reacted (the course of reaction was followed by thin layer chromatography), the solvent was evaporated and the dry residue was extracted in a system diethyl ether/water. 0.4 g of an oily product were isolated.
