Carbon Disulfide → HCID 178441374, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

28.6 g (0.2 mole) of 2-methyl-2-(tert.butyl)-oxazolidine and 8.0 g (0.2 mole) of sodium hydroxide dissolved in 80 cm3 of water were placed into a round-bottom flask equipped with a reflux condenser, a thermometer, a dropping funnel and a stirrer. With continuous stirring and cooling, 15.2 g (12.05 cm3, 0.2 mole) of carbon disulphide was introduced dropwise while the temperature was not allowed to rise above 20° C. As the introduction of carbon disulphide had been completed, the mixture was continued to stir at room temperature for 2 hours. Under cooling and stirring, 25.2 g (22.96 cm3, 0.2 mole) of benzylchloride was added dropwise below 10° C. Stirring was continued for 2 hours after the introduction had been completed. The organic layer was separated from the aqueous one and the latter was extracted by chloroform. The unified organic phases were washed with water, dried above sodium sulphate, and then the solvent was distilled off. Yield: 36.8 g (61.8%).
