N,N-bis-(decahydroquinolyl-N-methyl)imidazolin-2-thiones

Abstract

The present invention relates to novel derivatives of imidazolin-2-thione and a method of preparing same. These novel compounds comprise N,N'-bis-substituted imidazolin-2-thiones of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is ##STR2## R.sub.2 is hydrogen or methyl. The method of preparing said compounds according to the present invention comprises reacting imidazolin-2-thione with formaldehyde and a compound of the formula: ##STR3## wherein R.sub.2 is hydrogen or methyl, at the molar ratio therebetween of 1:2:2 respectively in an aqueous medium or in a medium of polar organic solvents at a temperature ranging from 20.degree. to 80.degree. C. The method according to the invention makes it possible to obtain the desired product at a high yield (up to 93% of the theoretical value). The products may be widely employed in the rubber industry as efficient accelerators for vulcanization of rubber mixes (vulcanization time is 10-15 minutes), as corrosion inhibitors for non-ferrous metals, as flotation reagents for extraction of non-ferrous metals from waste waters and as herbicides and insecticides in agriculture.
