A Convenient Preparation of Anhydrous Alkali Metal Thiocarboxylates Shinzi Kato*, Motohiro Oguri, and Masaru Ishida Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Engineering, Gifu University, Yanagido, Gifu 501-11, Japan Z. Naturforsch. 38b, 1585-1590 (1983); received July 5, 1983 Lithium Thiocarboxylates, Sodium Thiocarboxylates, Potassium Thiocarboxylates, Rubidium Thiocarboxylates, Caesium Thiocarboxylates A series of alkali metal thiocarboxylates (1-5) were found to be readily obtained in high yields by the reaction of thiocar boxy lie acids with metal hydrides (LiH, NaH, KH), and rubidium or caesium acetates, respectively. Their physical properties were disclosed. Alkali metal salts of thiocarboxylic acid, espe- cially lithium thiocarboxylates (la-e), sodium 2- cially anhydrous salts, are of the most important methyl- (2c), 3-methyl- (2d), and 2-chlorothio- starting materials. However, only a limited amount benzoates (2f), and rubidium 2-methylthiobenzoate of information on their preparation and spectral (4 c) are too strong hygroscopic (deliquescent) to data has been available because of their strong carry out their microanalyses. The lithium salts (1) hygroscopicity [1]. Recently, the convenient prep- are soluble in ether, but less soluble in chloroform. aration methods of a series of anhydrous alkali Surprisingly, alkali metal thiocarboxylates except metal dithiocarboxylates were developed [2]. This the lithium salts (1), especially in an anhydrous result stimulated us to develop similar convenient solid state, show very strong static electrical prop- methods for the preparation of anhydrous alkali erties. This is in sharp contrast to alkali metal metal thiocarboxylates and to compare their phys- carboxylates, which do not show such a property. ical properties. The structures of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 obtained here were established by IR and UV spectral data, and elemental analysis (Table VI), or by conversion to Results and Discussion the 4-bromophenacyl esters 6 (Table VII). Preparation For the preparation of lithium (1), sodium (2), IR spectra and potassium thiocarboxylates (3), the reactions As shown in Tables I-V, the vasC=0 vibrations of of thio acids with lithium-, sodium-, and potassium most of the salts are observed in the region of hydrides were found to give high yields. In con- trast, the use of lithium, sodium, and potassium O metals is impractical, because of their low reactivity LiH II RCSLi (1) and of covering of these metals by the product [3]. 1 Rubidium- (4) and caesium thiocarboxylates (5) have been obtained, however, by using rubidium O NaH II and caesium acetates as the metal sources [4].
