The present application relates to the technical field of
organic synthesis, in particular to a method for synthesizing 2,2'-dithiodi[N-butyl-
benzamide] in water phase with
ethyl acetate as additive.
Sodium iodide and
hydroiodic acid are used as key additives to synthesize 2,2'-dithiodi[N-butyl-
benzamide], which has certain safety hazards. In view of the above problems, the present application provides a method for synthesizing 2,2'-dithiodi[N-butyl-
benzamide] in water phase with
ethyl acetate as additive, which is to use 2-butyl-1,2-benzisothiazoline-3-
ketone as starting reaction material,
sodium sulfide as
reducing agent, and
ethyl acetate as key additive to synthesize 2,2'-dithiodi[N-butyl-benzamide] in water under
room temperature and closed condition. The method of the present application completely avoids the use of strong acid such as
hydroiodic acid and
sodium iodide. Moreover, the raw materials used are all conventional chemicals, the
reaction system is mild, the operation process is safe and reliable, and it is suitable for large-scale production.
