Participants

Reaction Steps

180 G. (1.23 moles) of 1-octanethiol and 97.2 g. (1.23 moles) of pyridine are added dropwise over one hour to 2000 g. of 12.5% phosgene in benzene maintaining the temperature at from 10° to 12° C with an ice water bath. The reaction mixture is allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 21 hours. The reaction mixture is filtered, washed with anhydrous benzene, concentrated to a small volume, filtered and concentrated again to an oil which infrared spectroscopy indicates is pure n-octylthiocarbonyl chloride.
