Synopsis Thl' C'hemiC'al nature of starch xanthate (SX)-polyethylenimine (PEl) reaction produC'ts ha.~ been studied berause of their effertiveness as wet-end additives for im­ prllving strength properties of paper. :\lodel rompounds, in ronjunction with ultra­ vitllct, infrared, and chemical analyses, served to elucidate SX-PEl reaction mecha­ nisms. Aqueous solutions of ~X (degree:s of :sub:;titution O.l-D.;,) were titrated with PEl at pI! :.-i (2,i-:lQoC) to form SX-PEl !locrulent precipitate:s that were determined til hl' polyelectrolyte complexes. However. when :solutions of SX-PEl were kept at pH Ill-I:!. produc·ts were formed that induded dithiocarbamic acid salts in major quantities, PEl thiourea.-, and minor quantities of O-:starch PEl thionrarbamate. Acid precipita­ tion of thesl' ~X-PEI polymeriC' reaction products from their alkaline solutions, which ('Ilntained residual xanthate and PEl. also yielded polyelectrolyte complexe:;. :\lodel ,.'·-tems suggest th:lt PEl thiurum disulfide and starch xanthide, pos:;ible products of air lOxidal iOII, ('ould he present in minor amount:; and would react rapidly with PEl to yield thi'l\lreas and thioncarbamates, respectively. Apparently, mixtures of xanthate and alnin!' gave (1) dithioearbamic aeid salts from both xanthate groups and CS, (decom­ positilln from xanthate), (2) thioureas from both dithioearbamic aeid salts and thiuram eli,ulfide, and (;l) thionearbamates, principally from xanthate a:s opposed to xanthide.

Possibly thpsp ultraviolet data indicate' that PEl primary groups as opposed to sec­ ondary amine g:roups we're preferentially derivatized. Although the xanthate-aminp model systems strongly suggested that SX-PEl alkaline solutions would yield O-starch PEl thioncarbamate, the reaction is so slow that xanthat~ was preferentially consumed in formation of PEl dithiocarbamic acid sal t.
