On Chalcogenolates. 204. Reaction of Acetamide with Carbon Disulfide. 1. Synthesis and Properties of N-Acetyl Dithiocarbamates Acetamide reacts with carbon disulfide in the presence of a strong base to form via the tetrabutyl ammonium salt the N-acetyl dithiocarbamates M[S₂C? NH? CO? CH₃] with M = Na, K, Rb, Cs, [N(ⁿC₄H₉)₄]. The new compounds have been characterized by means of electron absorption, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H and ¹³C), and mass spectra. Attempts to synthesize N-acetyl dithiocarbamic acid were not successful.
