Thiocarbonic acid, anhydrosulphide with methyl thiohypochlorite → 2-(2-Pyridyldithio)ethanol

Temperature

0 °C

To a solution of methoxycarbonyl sulfenyl chloride (10 mL, 110 mmol), in dichloromethane (100 mL), cooled to 0 C, was added mercaptoethanol (7.6 mL, 110 mmol), dropwise. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at 0° C. for 30 min. At this point, a solution of 2-mercaptopyridine (12.2 g, 110 mmol) in dichloromethane (160 mL) was added. The solution was allowed to react at 0° C. for 1 hr and then was allowed to warm to RT for another 1 hr. Solid product was observed to have fallen out of solution. TLC (1:1 Pet Ether/EtOAc) showed that significant product had been formed. The reaction mixture was concentrated to a volume of 125 mL. The mixture was filtered through a Buchner funnel. The filter cake was washed with dichloromethane and then dried under vacuum overnight to afford 2-(2-(Pyridin-2-yl)disulfanyl)ethanol (23.6 g), as the HCl salt.
