Carbon Disulfide → HCID 20315472, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Oxidation of 5-methyl-4-(2-aminoethylthio)methylimidazole with one equivalent of sodium metaperiodate yields 5-methyl-4-(2-aminoethylsulphinyl)methylimidazole and reaction of this compound with carbon disulphide gives N-[2-((5-methyl-4-imidazolyl)methylsulphinyl)ethyl]dithiocarbamic acid which, on treatment with methyl iodide may be converted into S-methyl-N-[2-((5-methyl-4-imidazolyl)methylsulphinyl) ethyl]dithiocarbamate hydriodide.
