Abstract
Reaction of the tetramer of chlorocyan, namely 2, 4-dichloro-6-isocyanodichloro-s-triazine (hereafter called T.C.C) with methylmercaptan proceeded easily with the liberation of hydrogen chloride and gave the thioalkyl derivative. The thioalkyl derivative obtained here is found to be a new compound of chloroiminothio ether, namely 2, 4-dichloro-6-alkylthiochloroisocyano-s-triazine (1) formed by substitution of a thioalkyl group for a chlorine atom in the isocyanodichloro group of T.C.C. The chlorine in alkylthiochloroisocyano group in (1) showed, against expectation, less active than the chlorine in triazine nucleus, to hydrolysis or aniline substitution reaction. This fact is very interesting in contrast to the high activity of chloroiminothio ether compound and chloroamidine compound in triazine in preceeding report.
