Abstract

The object of this research was to find an alternative synthesis of dithiocarbamate esters. Since tetramethylthiuram disulfide (TMTD) suffers a displacement reaction at sulfur when it is treated with nucleophiles, such as cyanide ion2 or amine^,^ the reaction between TMTD and Grignard reagent, s was investigated.
