Spectroscopic Analysis of the Products from the Reaction of Omicron- Chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile (CS) and 2-Diethylaminoethyl Mercaptan (DEAEM)

Ultraviolet, infrared, and Raman spectra have been determined for the products of the reaction of o-chlorobenzylidenamalononitrile (CS) and 2- diethylaminoethyl mercaptan (DEAEM). Structures for two of the products, CS(DEAEM)2 and (CS)2DEAEM, are given, and their spectral characteristics are discussed. Reactions were followed in the ultraviolet by observing the changes occurring in the spectrum with time. The order of addition to CS in the case of the product CS(DEAEM)2, as observed by ultraviolet, is first, the addition to the double bond, and second, addition to the nitrile.
