Abstract
1-Anilino-8-(mercaptoamino)-1,8-octadione has been identified as a compound of pharmaceutical value. The addition of carbon disulfide to sodium trimethylsilanolate to yield a xanthate product has been analyzed and refined to a 70% yield. Several methods to aminate the xanthate product to yield a sulfenamide have been attempted and analyzed. Multiple attempts have been made to benzoylate the sulfenamide product with little success, with many concerns stemming from the unsuccessful amination reactions.
