“…Preparations of the his(S-methyl) derivatives of dithio acids were reported (9,10). With the 6-bromo-1-methylquinolinium-2-dithioacetic acid zwitterion, treatment with excess iodomethane gave a bis(S-methyl) derivative (V, R = Rr) whose NMR spectrum showed five ring protons a t 8 8.2-9.0 ppm, N-methyl protons a t 6 4.35 ppm, S-methyl protons a t 6 2.50 and 2.63 ppm, and a one-proton singlet at d 6.65 ppm for the olefinic proton.…”
