Abstract
A process for the production of methyl dithiocarbazinate includes the steps of providing a mixture comprising hydrazine, solvent, carbon disulfide and base; adding methyl bromide to the mixture; cooling the reaction mixture; and recovering methyl dithiocarbazinate. The methyl dithiocarbazinate may be recovered by filtering the reaction mixture to yield a solid methyl dithiocarbazinate retentate and a liquid filtrate; acidifying the filterate with a mineral acid; and adding methyl isobutylketone to the acidified filterate.
