Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

A method is disclosed for the transeste-rification of thiocarbamic acid esters, the single-step method consisting in reacting the esters in question with compounds of the formula R'(X'H)n wherein X' is O, S, or NH; R' is C2 to C10 alkyl or phenyl radical and n is 1 to 5. The reaction takes place in the presence of a catalyst, the most suitable being a ter-tiary amine and the temperature range is from 50°C to the solvent boiling point, an organic solvent being used as the reaction medium. Diazobicyclooctane is a preferred catalyst.

to the reaction which forms the subject-matter of a copending patent application by the same~applicant.
It has now been found that it is possible to subject these compounds to appropriate transeste-rlficatlon reactions so as to obtain valuable products, whioh are very important for applications in the industrial field.
As a matter of fact, the subject matter of the present invention is the reaction between said es-ters and compounds of the formula R' (X'H)n wherein X' is O, S, or NH; R' is C2 to C10 alkyl or phenyl radical and n is l to 5. The reaction in question is preferably carried out in organic solvents at temperatures ranging ,~
from 50C to the boiling point temperature of the solvent.
It is also possible to employ a not too strong nitrogen stream in order to remove from the reaction environment the evolved mercaptan. The reaction can be carried out in the presence o a catalytic system which A
