Reaction Steps

3.15 gms (0.01 mole) of 2-amino-1-n-butyl-4-n-butylamino-6-chloro-5-cyano pyridinium chloride (compound 6 - Table 1), 1.24 gms (0.01 mole) of benzyl mercaptan and 1.0 gm (0.01 mole) of triethylamine was dissolved in dimethylformamide and heated at 100°C for 1 hour. The dimethylformamide was evaporated off, ethanol added and 2.0 gms (50% yield) of 2-amino-6-benzylmercapto-1-n-butyl-4-n-butylamino-5-cyano pyridinium chloride (compound 75 - Table 5) crystallised out and was recrystallised from ethanol (MPt 145° - 147°C).
