cooled to 0 u00b0 c the resulting solution was stirred and 3 5 ml of water was added the reaction mass was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours the ether layer was washed three times with 40 ml of water the organic layer was then dried over magnesium sulfate filtered and evaporated a yellow gum 3 86 grams was left behind after 7 days in the refrigerator the gum crystallized the crude crystals of 2 3 5 bis 1 1 dimethylethyl 4 hydroxyphenyl thio n ethoxyhexamide were recrystallized from 50 ml of hexane the white crystals were found to have a melting point of 82 u00b0 84 u00b0 c the infrared and nmr spectra confirmed the proposed structure theoretical analysis of the compound was carbon 66 8 hydrogen 9 43 and nitrogen 3 54 elemental analysis showed carbon 66 9 hydrogen 9 45 and nitrogen 3 87 following the general procedure set forth in the preceding example several other phenylthiocarboxamides were prepared having the general formula str2 table i__________________________________________________________________________ elemental analysisexample theoretical actual reactionnumberr sub 1 r sub 2 c h n c h n m p u00b0 c solvent__________________________________________________________________________2 ch sub 2 ch sub 2 oh h brown oil ether3 ch sub 3 ch sub 3 69 61 9 82 3 69 69 9 9 80 3 85 117 118 5 benzene4 h oh 65 4 9 05 65 5 8 82 148 149 5 ether na sub 2 co sub 3__________________________________________________________________________ material was chromatographed on silica gel 60 and eluted with benzene methanol the hypolipidemic effect of the compounds of the invention is illustratively demonstrated in rats in this procedure a compound of the present invention is dissolved in acetone taken up on a.
