N'-prop-2-enylethane-1,2-diamine

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 4.84 g (30 mmol) of 2,3-dimethylphenoxy-acetonitrile, 3.3 g (33 mmol) of N-allyl-ethylenediamine and 260 mg of sodium polysulfide (Na2S4) are stirred together at 50° C. for 4 hours. The excess amine is then stripped off under a high vacuum, ethanolic hydrochloric acid is added to the residue and the hydrochloride is precipitated by addition of ether. is added to the residue the hydrochloride is precipitated by addition of ether

Conditions: temp:5.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To 10 g of N-allylethylendiamine (0.1 moles) dissolved in 50 cc of ethanol there were admixed, under stirring, 7.6 g of CS2 (0.1 moles) dissolved in 50 cc ethanol, the temperature being maintained at about 5° C. Once the addition is accomplished, stirring is continued for another 15 minutes, after which the resulting precipitate is filtered and, after washing with ethanol, consists of 15.6 g of white crystals having a m.p. of 125° C. (with decomposition) of N-(2'-allylaminoethyl)dithiocarbamic acid having the following structure of an internal salt: ##STR20## Once the addition stirring after which the resulting precipitate is filtered after washing with ethanol
