Dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride

Dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride is an organosulfur compound with the formula (CH3)2NC(S)Cl. A yellow solid, it is often encountered as a yellow syrup. It is a key reagent in the synthesis of arylthiols via the Newman-Kwart rearrangement.[1]

Synthesis and reactions

Representative of other thiocarbamoyl chlorides, dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride is electrophilic, serving as a source of R2NC(S)+.[2] It is analogous to dimethylcarbamoyl chloride (R2NC(O)Cl).

Dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride is prepared by chlorination of the related tetramethylthiuram disulfide:

[Me2NC(S)]2S2 + 3 Cl2 → 2 Me2NC(S)Cl + 2 SCl2

Dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride reacts with dithiocarbamates (R2NCS
2
) to give thiuram sulfides [R2NC(S)]2S. With methanethiolate, it gives methyl dimethyldithiocarbamate (Me2NC(S)SMe).

gollark: Add more turrets then.
gollark: It's still not enough.
gollark: Oh, you need more iron. Of course you do.
gollark: Make more iron gears.
gollark: There is no situation in which this would be beneficial, except something incredibly contrived like some of the power poles being missing but the boilers and inserters still working.
