to 400 millimicrons however from 285 millimicrons into the visible range there is a high absorbency band infra red studies from 2 5 microns to 16 microns showed a number of absorption peaks some of the major peaks were 3 4 and a reverse absorption peak at 3 6 a minor peak at 4 7 several minor peaks between 5 0 and 6 5 with major peaks at 7 2 8 3 9 0 10 5 11 8 and 13 0 it should be noted that morpholine could replace piperidine but there are disadvantages associated with the use of morpholine in the preparation of the dithiocarbonic acid as well as in the processing of the morpholinyldithiocarbonic acid the compounds of the present invention are formed by reacting two moles of piperidinyldithiocarbonic acid in 500 ml of chloroform with one mole of a reactant selected from the group consisting of a scl 2 b s 2 cl 2 c socl 2 d so 2 cl 2 e s 2 o 4 cl 2 and f s 2 o 5 cl 2 and two moles of potassium hydroxide the reactants are vigorous stirred for one hour the potassium chloride produced in the reaction is removed by filtration and suction and the product is taken to dryness under reduced heat and pressure the compounds formed from these reactions the potassium chloride being removed and the alcohol being recovered by vacuum distillation are a bis piperidinyldithiocarbonylsulphide b bis piperidinyldithiocarbonyldisulphide.
