Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 20 g (0.1 mole) disodiumdimercaptomaleonitrile in 250 ml of DMF was added 16.5 g (0.1 mole) of 4,5-dichloro-3-pyridiazone. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature (approximately 20° C.) for 0.25 hours and was thereafter poured with stirring into 1.5 liters of water. The resulting mixture was allowed to stand for four hours during which time a brown precipitate slowly formed. This precipitate was separated by filtration, washed with water, and dried in vacuo to yield 10.2 g (43% yield from the pyridiazone) of a brown solid, m.p. (decomposition) 240°-260° C.
