Reaction Steps

A solution of 23 g (1 mol) of sodium in 1 l of anhydrous methanol is mixed with 84 g (0.5 mol) of methyl thiosalicylate while stirring. This is then mixed with 79 g (0.5 mol) of ethyl chloro-acetimidate hydrochloride and heated under reflux for 10 hours. The sodium chloride precipitate is filtered off and the desired product isolated by evaporation (yield: 73 g, m.p. 201°C).
