Reaction Scheme

Chemicals

ethylene trithiocarbonate (Aldrich),
dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (Aldrich)

Procedure

Dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (10.4 g, 0.073 mol) and ethylene trithiocarbonate (10 g, 0.073 mol) were dissolved in toluene (25 ml). Mixture was refluxed overnight at 150°C. Product precipitated upon cooling (water/ice bath), filtered without washing, dried in vacuo (Yield 16.8g). Concentration of the filtrate gave second crop (Yield 2.4g) Overall yield (19.2g, 89%)

Author Comments

Has been performed several times with similar yields. Product used immediately in subsequent reaction.

Data

1H NMR (400MHz, Acetone-d6, 298K) 3.91 (s, CH3)
