			Reaction Scheme: ​Reaction of carbohydrazide with <SPAN class=csm-chemical-name id=csm1268910953849 title="carbon disulphide" grpid="3">carbon disulphide</SPAN>

Chemicals Used

4-Chlorobenzene-1-Carbohydrazide, 97% (Maybridge BB), Carbon disulphide, 99% (Aldrich), Potassium hydroxide (Aldrich), Ethanol (Merck) 99.9%.

Procedure

4-Chlorobenzene-1-carbohydrazide (15g, 0.088M) was dissolved in carbon disulphide (5.8ml, 0.097M) and alcoholic KOH (7.4g, 0.132M, KOH in 15ml ethanol) was added drop wise to at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature using a magnetic stirrer for 6 hrs and monitored using thin layer chromatography (15:85; methanol:benzene). Filtration afforded N’-(4-chloro-benzoyl)hydrazine carbodithio potassium salt as yellow crystals. Yield: 22g, 87.85%.

Author's Comments

It is essential to add the alcoholic KOH to the reaction mixture drop wise to get the best results. The reaction has been carried out successfully on up to a 150g scale.
