Carbon Disulfide → HCID 178514763, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 11.5 g of the hydrazide prepared in Example 1 in 100 ml of absolute ethanol was added a solution of 2.8 g of potassium hydroxide in 20 ml of water. After stirring several minutes, 4.8 g of carbon disulfide was added in one portion. The suspension was refluxed 4.5 hours then concentrated in vacuo. After water (about 100 ml) was added to the residue and the suspension stirred several minutes, the suspension was filtered and the filtrate was acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid (red to litmus paper). The mixture was filtered and the residue was washed sequentially with 1×25 ml water, 1×10 ml 2-propanol and 1×10 ml ethyl ether. The suction-dried residue was recrystallized from methanol to give 3 g of the subject compound; m.p. 224°-227° C.
