DIRECT SYNTHESIS OF COPPER DIMETHYLDITHIOCARBAMATE DERIVATIVES: AN OPTIMIZATION USING ULTRASONIC TREATMENT

Abstract

A comparison of the synthetic approaches for copper dimethyldithiocarbamate complexes by oxidative and electrochemical dissolution of metallic copper in different non-aqueous solvents is reported. The influence of ultrasound on the synthesized products and on the reaction yields is also studied. The results show the influence of solvent on the structure and on the increase in rate of metal dissolution from simultaneous ultrasonic treatment.
