SYNTHESIS OF ANTIRADIATION DRUGS. Annual Progress Report, April 1, 1961- March 31, 1962

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4763179
Forty-eight compounds were synthesized and evaluated as potential antiradiation drugs. These compounds were mainly N-substituted derivatives of 2- aminoethanethiol and were supplied as the hydrochloride salts. The synthetic methods used were: thiolethylation of amines and alkanolamines with ethylene sulfide; amination of epoxides and alpha, omega-alkylene dinalides with 2- (Benzylthio)ethylamine, followed by debenzylation; and alkylation of alkanolamines with benzyl 2-chloroethyl sulfide, followed by debenzylation. A study of the reaction variables in the ethylene sulfide thiolethylation of a simple aliphatic amine (n-hexylamine) was begun. The data indicate that high amine: episulfide molar ratios and long reflux periods favor formation of the monothiolethylated product in good yield. (auth)
