Reaction Steps

To a 250 mL round bottomed flask was placed 60 g of dioctadecylamine (a fatty amine derived from a natural oil) and 2.40 g of zinc oxide. Carbon disulfide, 9.0 g, was then added dropwise, and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. The flask was then stirred and heated for 2 hours at 70° C., and then stirred for an addition 2 hours at 90° C. A vacuum was then applied to remove water of reaction and the temperature was increased to 130° C., and the reaction was maintained in this state for 3 hours. The pale yellow material was then filtered through Celite at 120° C., to give, upon standing at ambient temperature a waxy solid with a Zn content of 4.2%.
