The title compounds were prepared as skin sensitizing materials (Voss, CA 53, 20529e). Mercaptoalkanoic acid amides were made by acylation of amines with the corresponding esters (method 1) or acid chlorides in which the SH group was protected as the Ac derivative (method 2). Another reaction used was the addition of AcSH to olefinic double bonds followed by ammonolysis with NH4OH. Thus, reaction overnight at room temperature of 180 g. Et thioglycolate with 111 g. methylamine in 375 ml. MeOH yielded 123.3 g. N-methylthioglycolamide, b5 91-4°, pK 8.05.

Acetylthioacetyl chloride (0.2 mole) (from the acid and SOCl2) and 0.2 mole Et glycinate were added simultaneously at a slow rate to a well stirred suspension of 87 g. CaSO4 and 100 g. K2CO3 in 400 ml. ether at 10-15° to yield after 3 hrs. crystalline Et N-(acetylthioacetyl)glycinate, m. 78.5° (ether); this (0.032 mole) with 0.09 mole aqueous NH4OH gave 100% conversion to the free thiol. Tetra-O-acetylglucosamine and acetylthioacetyl chloride in CHCl3 at 0° yielded on precipitation with ligroine 77% N-(acetylthioacetyl)tetra-O-acetylglucosamine, m. 190-1°. Similarly, di-Et N-(acetylthioacetyl)aminomalonate was obtained in 52% yield, m. 91.5° (ether). Mercaptosuccinimide, pK 6.65, was prepared by addition of thiolacetic acid to maleimide in the presence of benzoyl peroxide to give an initial product, m. 91°, hydrolyzed with HCl in MeOH. At 100° in an autoclave, 113 g. morpholine and 78 g. ethylene sulfide gave after 16 hrs. 77.9% N-mercaptoethylmorpholine, b0.9 72-3°, n20D 1.5045. Addition of 68.5 g. ethylene sulfide to 81 g. pyrrolidine in 400 ml. dry dioxane followed by stirring and refluxing 6 hrs. yielded 111 g. N-mercaptoethylpyrrolidine, b22 81°, n20D 1.5004, on distillation of the mixture In the same way were obtained: N-mercaptoethylpiperidine, b18 88°, n20D 1.5011; N-mercaptoethylpyrrolidone (no data); 3-aza-6-oxaheptanethiol, b3 57°, n20D 1.4770; 3-aza-5-(diethylamino)pentanethiol, b0.3 53°, n20D 1.4793.
