Participants

Reaction Steps

22.7 g of sulphur dichloride in 100 ml of dichloromethane was cooled to -5° C. and a solution of 17.4 g of pyridine in 50 ml of dichloromethane was added, over 30 minutes, while the temperature was maintained between -5° and 0° C. The resulting solution was stirred for 15 minutes and a solution of 20.2 g of di(n-propyl)amine dissolved in 50 ml of dichloromethane was added, over 30 minutes, while the temperature was maintained between -5° and 0° C. The resulting solution was stirred for 2 hours, while the temperature was allowed to rise to ambient. The solution was filtered and the solvent was evaporated. 150 ml of diethyl ether was added, the resulting solution was filtered, and the filtrate evaporated. Distillation of the residue gave di(n-propyl)aminosulphenyl chloride (38B), b.p.: 94°-5° C. at 15 Torr.
