The solution concerns a process of production of
N-alkyl-2-benzthiazolylsulfeneimides by means of a reaction of
2-benzthiazolylsulfenyl chloride with an excess of a corresponding
alkylamine in an anhydrous reaction medium. Removement of water and
moisture from the reaction medium is ensured by azeotropic distillation
of a part of the solvent. The method solves also trapping of the excess
amine by extraction with water to recycle it in the process, removing of
the unconverted raw material from the crude product by chemical refining
with aqueous lye and extraction of by-products and pitches by elutriating
the product in an organic solvent with the aim to obtain pure
benzthiazolylsulfeneimide containing no less than 95% of the active
substance, which can be used as a vulcanization accelerator in ruber
mixtures. A device for performing this method consists of a reactor with
a multiple propeller mixer on a common shaft
