Hexadecanethiol → S-n-hexadecyl p-nitrophenylthiocarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a three necked flask equipped with a dropping funnel, a thermometer and reflux condenser, n-hexadecanethiol (165 g) was dissolved in acetonitrile (1000 ml) in a nitrogen atmosphere. To the solution, p-nitrophenyl isocyanate (100 g) was gradually added, stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes, and then heat-refluxed for 30 minutes. The reaction liquid was cooled to room temperature to allow crystals to precipitate. The crystals were collected by filtering and washed with acetonitrile, to obtain S-n-hexadecyl p-nitrophenylthiocarbamate (250 g) at a yield of 97%.
