Triton-B catalyzed, efficient one-pot synthesis of dithiocarbazates

A quick and efficient, one-pot synthesis of dithiocarbazates was accomplished in high yields by the reaction of various primary, secondary, and tert. alkyl halides with a variety of substituted hydrazines using the benzyl-trimethylammonium hydroxide (Triton-B)/CS₂ system. The reaction conditions are mild with simpler work-up procedures than the reported methods.
