Tetrahydrofuran → 1-(1,3-Dithiol-2-ylidene)-2-carbamoylpyrrolidinium iodide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 30 ml of tetrahydrofuran, 1.6 g of proline amide was dissolved, and 2.0 g of 2-methylthio-1,3-dithiolium iodide was gradually added under stirring at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, and the precipitated crystals were collected by filtration and recrystallized from acetone-ethyl ether, whereby 1.3 g (yield: 53%) of 1-(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-2-carbamoylpyrrolidinium iodide (Compound No. 44) was obtained as crystals having a melting point of from 250° to 251° C.
