Abstract

Di-t-butylthioketene (IC) may be prepared by heating either di-t-butylacetyl chloride or di-t- butylketene with phosphorus pentasulfide in pyridine. Thioketene IC, in contrast to other nonhalogenated thioketenes reported previously, shows no tendency to dimerize or polymerize on storage at room temperature. It may be converted into 0 esters (3) of di-t- butylthioacetic acid by reaction with methyl or ethyl alcohol, into di-t-butylthioacetanilide (4 ...
