N-(Substituted-thiomethyl)-2-pyrrolidinones of the structural formula: ##SPC1## Wherein R represents hydrocarbon or substituted hydrocarbon groups such as alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl and alkaryl, are useful as organic solvents and dyestuff intermediates. They are prepared by the reaction of N-hydroxymethyl-2-pyrrolidinone with a hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl mercaptan in the presence of an acid catalyst.
结构式为N-(取代
硫代甲基)-2-
吡咯酮的化合物,其中R代表烃基或取代烃基,例如烷基,芳基,烯基,炔基,环烷基,芳基烷基和烷基芳基。它们可用作有机溶剂和
染料中间体。它们是通过在酸催化剂存在下,将N-羟甲基-2-
吡咯酮与烃基或取代烃基巯基化合物反应制备的。
