Ammonium dithiocarbamate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Yellow crystals. Soluble in water.

Uses

Instead of H2S or (NH4)2S for pptg metals in chemical analysis; synthesis of heterocyclic compounds.

Uses

Ammonium Dithiocarbamate is an intermediate in synthesizing [6R-[6α,7β(Z)]]-7-[[(2-Amino-4-thiazolyl)(methoxyimino)acetyl]amino]-3-[[[4-(2-carboxyethyl)-2-thiazolyl]thio]methyl]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic Acid (A630540), an isomer of the antibiotic Cefodizime (C242865) which is a third generation cephalosporin with a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity.

Preparation

Ammonium dithiocarbamate is prepared most easily from ammonia and carbon disulfide in alcohol or an ester solvent.
