Reactions of Epoxides. I. Synthesis of Trithiocarbonate by the Reaction of Epoxide with Alkali Xanthate

抄録

Several mono and bistrithiocarbonates were synthesized by the reaction of the correspondingmono and bisepoxides with carbon disulfide in the presence of potassiumhydroxide. These trithiocarbonates were successfully obtained even in the presenceof a catalytic amount of potassium hydroxide. Potassium methoxide instead of potassiumhydroxide as catalyst also gave trithiocarbonate in good yield.
