Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

106.3 g (0.88 mol) of chloroethylformate are added dropwise with stirring over a period of 30 minutes to a solution of 100 g (0.48 mol) of 1-methyl-4-ethoxycarbonyl-mercapto-piperidine in 80 ml of toluene which has been heated to 90° C. The solution is then heated for two hours to from 100° to 110° C. After repeated addition of 40 g of chloroethylformate the solution is heated for a further three hours. After leaving it to stand overnight at room temperature it is drawn off by suction using a glass fibre filter. The solution is concentrated on a rotary evaporator and the residue is distilled off. 20 g (94% of the theoretical yield) of 1-ethoxycarbonyl-4-ethoxycarbonyl-mercapto-piperidine are obtained. B.P. 138°-140° C.
