Ethyl isothiocyanatoformate → HCID 21162010, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3.94 g. Ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate are dissolved in 75 ml. anhydrous toluene and to this there is added dropwise, at a temperature between 20° and 30° C., a solution of 2.04 g. 2-cyanoaziridine in 50 ml. toluene. The reaction mixture is stirred at ambient temperature for a further hour and the crystals obtained are filtered off with suction, washed with toluene and then triturated with diethyl ether. There are thus obtained 4 g. 1-(N-ethoxycarbonyl-thiocarbamoyl)-2-cyanoaziridine; m.p. 152°-155° C. (foaming up).
