N-(2-MERCAPTOETHYL)ALKANAMIDES FROM H 1N2 XXS AND 2-H- 2-OXAZOLINES OR 2-ALKYL-2-OXAZOLINES

摘要

A B S T R A C TThe invention is directed to a process forpreparing N-(2-mercaptoethyl)alkanamides by reactinghydrogen sulfide with 2-H-2-oxazolines or 2-alkyl-2--oxazolines. These prepared materials have utility aschemical intermediates, for example, all of them can behydrolyzed with aqueous hydrogen chloride to prepare2-mercaptoethylamine hydrochloride, which is useful whenneutralized as a curing agent for epoxy resins, as anacid scavenger and as a pharmaceutical intermediate.
