Manganese, hydrated oxides dehydrations

EDA reacts readily with two moles of CS2 in aqueous sodium hydroxide to form the bis sodium dithiocarbamate. When aqueous ammonia and 2inc oxide (or manganese oxide or its hydrate) is used with a basic catalyst, the 2inc (or manganese) dithiocarbamate salt is isolated. Alternatively, the disodium salt can react with ZnSO or MnSO followed by dehydration in an organic solvent to yield the same salts (48—50).
