2-Aminoheptane → 1-sec-heptyl-3-n-hexyl-2-S-ethylisothiourea

Participants

Reaction Steps

The equipment, procedure and reactants were the same as in Example 31 with the exception that 10.01 g (0.07 mole) of n-hexylisothiocyanate, 8.05 g (0.07 mole) 2-aminoheptane, 35 ml ethanol 2B, 11.7 g (0.075 mole) ethyl iodide, 200 ml of toluene and a one percent solution sodium hydroxide (0.08 mole) were used as reactants and reagents in the procedure. The reaction produced 19.6 g (98 weight percent of theory yield of a clear liquid having a nD30 of 1.4765. The product was identified as the title product by IR and NMR spectra analyses.
