Tert-Butylamine → HCID 86602999, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

70.0 ml (736 mmol) of tert-butylamine are used as initial charge in 1,2-dichloroethane in an inertized three-necked flask with dropping funnel, reflux condenser with hose coupling at its upper end, a tap with hose coupling and a Teflon stirrer bar, in a countercurrent of argon. 10.2 g (29.3 mmol) of 1,6-bis(chlorotrisulphanyl)hexane in 50 ml of 1,2-dichloroethane are then added dropwise, with stirring. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The resultant salt is filtered off, and the organic phase is washed three times with water and dried over sodium sulphate. After removal of the solvent on a rotary evaporator and drying in the vacuum generated by a rotary-vane pump, 1,6-bis(tert-butylaminotrisulphanyl)hexane precipitates in the form of a yellow oil. The crude yield is 11.9 g (97%). Elemental analysis was carried out on the crude product.
