Acylmercapto derivatives of pyrimidines or alkylthio-1,3,4-thiadiazoles are prepared by reacting the corresponding mercapto compounds with carboxylic acid chlorides having 2 to 19 carbon atoms in the presence of sodium hydroxide in acetone at 0 DEG to 5 DEG C. In examples, 6 - methyl - 2,4 - dimercapto - pyrimidine is reacted with benzoyl chloride and 2-octylthio-5 - mercapto - 1,3,4 - thiadiazole is reacted with lauroyl chloride. |
