Aminothiophenes can also be obtained from carbon disulfide-derived intermediates. For example, one of the methylthio groups of ketene dithioacetal 57, obtained from pentane-2,4-dione as shown, can be displaced with a secondary amine and the thiophene ring constructed by reaction with, for example, ethyl thioglycolate for final ring closure (Scheme 79) [127]. 

Without carbon, the basis for life would be impossible. While it has been thought that silicon might take the place of carbon in forming a host of similar compounds, it is now not possible to form stable compounds with very long chains of silicon atoms. The atmosphere of Mars contains 96.2% CO2. Some of the most important compounds of carbon are carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon disulfide (CS2), chloroform (CHCb), carbon tetrachloride (CCk), methane (CHr), ethylene (C2H4), acetylene (C2H2), benzene (CeHe), acetic acid (CHsCOOH), and their derivatives. 

Halogenation of 2-aminothiazole and derivatives has been reported under a wide variety of experimental conditions in water (161, 405. 406) in aqueous acids (16. 172, 407, 408) in solvents such as chloroform (27. 172), carbon disulfide (162, 166. 320. 409). benzene (165), acetic acid (410-413, 1580). or hydrochloric acid (414) or in 20% sulfuric acid (415-417). 

The thiazole ring can be obtained directly by other methods, but they have limited application. An example is the synthesis of Cook and Heilbron using a-aminonitriles or a-aminoamides and carbon disulfide (or thioacid derivatives) as reactants of type II. 

Carbon disulfide readily reacts with a-aminonitriles giving 2-mercapto-5-aminothiazoles (213), (271, 293) which can be converted to 5-aminothiazoles unsubstituted in the 2-position (Scheme 110 and Table II-34a). If this reaction is carried out in the presence of benzyl chloride in phosphorus tribromide, a 2-S-substituted thiazole derivative (214) is obtained in quantitative yield (Scheme 111), with R = hydrogen or phenyl (68, 304). 

When benzaldehyde or its substituted derivatives are added to carbon disulfide and a-aminonitrile, the corresponding 2-mercapto-5-(p-R-benzylideneamino)thiazoles (215), R = hydrogen atom or a propenyl or phenyl group and Ar = aryl, are obtained (Scheme 112) (393, 442, 694). Yields ranged from 40 to 60% (Table II-34b). 

Methyiaminoacetonitrile (216) reacts with carbon disulfide in the presence of acetic anhydride with ethyl acetate as solvent to give 2-thio-3-methyl-A-4-thiazoline in 74% yield (Scheme 113a) (326). If the reaction is carried out using benzaldehyde in place of acetic anhydride, the corresponding 5-benzylideneamino derivative of 217 is obtained in 70% yield. 

Protein-Based Adhesives. Proteia-based adhesives are aormaHy used as stmctural adhesives they are all polyamino acids that are derived from blood, fish skin, caseia [9000-71 -9] soybeans, or animal hides, bones, and connective tissue (coUagen). Setting or cross-linking methods typically used are iasolubilization by means of hydrated lime and denaturation. Denaturation methods require energy which can come from heat, pressure, or radiation, as well as chemical denaturants such as carbon disulfide [75-15-0] or thiourea [62-56-6]. Complexiag salts such as those based upon cobalt, copper, or chromium have also been used. Formaldehyde and formaldehyde donors such as h exam ethyl en etetra am in e can be used to form cross-links. Removal of water from a proteia will also often denature the material. 

Xanthation. The viscose process is based on the ready solubiUty of the xanthate derivative of ceUulose in dilute sodium hydroxide. The reaction between alkaU ceUulose and carbon disulfide must therefore be as uniform as possible to avoid problems with incompletely dissolved pulp fibers that wUl later have to be filtered out of the viscous solution. 

Chemical Properties The formation of salts with acids is the most characteristic reaction of amines. Since the amines are soluble in organic solvents and the salts are usually not soluble, acidic products can be conveniendy separated by the reaction with an amine, the unshared electron pair on the amine nitrogen acting as proton acceptor. Amines are good nucleophiles reactions of amines at the nitrogen atom have as a first step the formation of a bond with the unshared electron pair of nitrogen, eg, reactions with acid anhydrides, haUdes, and esters, with carbon dioxide or carbon disulfide, and with isocyanic or isothiocyanic acid derivatives. 

Similarly, carbon disulfide and propylene oxide reactions are cataly2ed by magnesium oxide to yield episulftdes (54), and by derivatives of diethyUiac to yield low molecular weight copolymers (55). Use of tertiary amines as catalysts under pressure produces propylene trithiocarbonate (56). 

C2S2, is a red Hquid (mp —0.5° C, bp 60—70°C at 1.6 kPa (12 mm Hg)) produced by the action of an electric arc on carbon disulfide (1 4). The stmcture has been shown to be S=C=C=C=S on the basis of its reactions to form malonic acid derivatives and on the basis of physical measurements. It is unstable and decomposes ia a few weeks at room temperature it decomposes explosively when heated rapidly at 100—120°C with formation of a black polymeric substance (C2S2) (5,6). Dilute solutions ia CS2 are fairly stable, but photochemical polymerisation to (C2S2) occurs. 

For the most part, thiacyanocarbons are derived from "BAhr s Salt" [18820-77-4] (10), prepared from carbon disulfide and sodium cyanide (61) through the intermediacy of the sodium salt of carbonocyanidodithione acid [33498-03-2] C2NS2Na. 

Acetaldehyde Cyanohydrin. This cyanohydrin, commonly known as lactonitnle, is soluble in water and alcohol, but insoluble in diethyl ether and carbon disulfide. Lactonitnle is used chiefly to manufacture lactic acid and its derivatives, primarily ethyl lactate. Lactonitnle [78-97-7] is manufactured from equimolar amounts of acetaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide containing 1.5% of 20% NaOH at —10 20 ° C. The product is stabili2ed with sulfuric acid (28). Sulfuric acid hydroly2es the nitrile to give a mixture of lactic acid [598-82-3] and ammonium bisulfate. 

Acetone Cyanohydrin. This cyanohydrin, also known as a-hydroxyisobutyronitnle and 2-methyUactonitrile [75-86-5], is very soluble in water, diethyl ether, and alcohol, but only slightly soluble in carbon disulfide or petroleum ether. Acetone cyanohydrin is the most important commercial cyanohydrin as it offers the principal commercial route to methacrylic acid and its derivatives, mainly methyl methacrylate [80-62-6] (see Methacrylic acid AND derivatives). The principal U.S. manufacturers are Rohm and Haas Co., Du Pont, CyRo Industries, and BP Chemicals. Production of acetone cyanohydrin in 1989 was 582,000 metric tons (30). 

Carbon disulfide reacts with ethylene oxide to give ethylene trithiocarbonate (90), and isocyanates yield derivatives of 2-oxazohdinone (91).

From the reactions of sulfur and carbon disulfide with cyclic ketone-derived enamines (570-573) 3H-l,2-dithiole-3-thiones were obtained, whereas the addition of carbon disulfide to other enamines gave a-dithio-pyrones (574), through initial dimerization of the enamine. 

The irradiation of the thiophene in gas phase yields ethylene, allene, methyl-acetylene, carbon disulfide, and vinylacetylene. No Dewar thiophene or cyclo-propene derivatives were isolated (69CJC2965). The irradiation in liquid phase gave the Dewar thiophene which can be trapped as a Diels-Alder adduct with furan (85JA723). The Dewar thiophene and cyclopropene-3-thiocarbaldehyde can be obtained by irradiation in argon matrices at 10 K (86JA1691).

Hydrazine 835 underwent ring closure with one carbon cyclizing reagents to afford 837 and/or /V-acyl derivatives 836. The N-acyl derivatives underwent cyclization on treatment with phosphorus oxychloride. They were also prepared by the reaction of hydrazones 838 with thionyl chloride (84JHC1565). Compound 835 underwent ring closure with carbon disulfide and ethyl chloroformate to give 839 (Scheme 169). 

Cyclization of diaminotriazines 1000 with carbon disulfide gave 1001, which were converted to triazinium salts 1003 and methylthio derivatives 1002 (82ZC219) (Scheme 185).
