Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 9 g of 2-methyl-2-thiopseudourea sulfate in 6 ml of H2O there is added 5.7 ml of methyl chloroformate at 0° C and the mixture is stirred for 15 minutes. Then there is added 12 ml of 25% NaOH dropwise and the mixture is stirred for 15 minutes. Then there is added 6 ml of acetic acid dropwise and the mixture is stirred for 15 minutes. Then the total amount of 4-[(2,2-dichlorocyclopropyl)methyl]thio-o-phenylenediamine from above in 50 ml of methanol is added and the mixture is refluxed for 2 hours. The alcohol is removed in vacuo and H2O is added. The resulting solid is filtered off and crystallized from glyme to yield 5.4 g, m.p. 211-213°.
