Carbon Disulfide → Triethylammonium

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cold (-10°) solution of 202 g (2.0 moles) of triethylamine and 360 g (1.27 moles) of 2,2-dimethyloxazolidine[(prepared by the method of E. Bergman, J.A.C.S. 75, 358 (1953)] in 1 liter of ether was added 152g (2.0 moles) of carbon disulfide over a period of 15 minutes. Solids formed during the additional one hour of stirring at -10° to 6°. The mixture was then filtered; the solids were washed with 2 × 250 ml of ether and were air-dried for 20 minutes to obtain 347g of the pale yellow, solid triethylammonium bis(2,2-dimethyl-3-oxazolidinecarbodithioate.
