Abstract
This invention relates to the synthesis of N-(monosubstituted)dithiooxamides by the transamination of dithiooxamide. Preferred methods, according to the present invention, take advantage of the discovery that yields of N-(monosubstituted)dithiooxamides can be improved in the Wallach Reaction by: controlling the temperature of the reaction mixture; optimizing the initial concentration of the reactants; adding an effective amount of acid in the quenching or processing procedure; and/or, optionally, adding an effective amount of certain nitrogen bases to the reaction mixture.
