Participants

Reaction Steps

To a rapidly stirred solution of 11.01 g of 3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate in 100 ml of hot methanol was added a freshly prepared solution of 1.68 g of potassium hydroxide and 0.61 g of nitromethane. The resulting stirred mixture was refluxed under nitrogen for 24 hours. Upon cooling, 3.0 g of the product precipitated as white crystals, mp 199°-201° C. An additional 2.07 of pure product was obtained from the filtrate after recrystallization from acetonitrile and vacuum drying.
