Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 99.2 g (0.8 mol) of 2-hydroxymethyl-phenol and 124 g (2 mol) of ethylmercaptan was heated for 5 hours to 170° C. in a VA autoclave, whilst stirring. After cooling to room temperature, the unconverted ethylmercaptan and the water of reaction were distilled off under normal pressure, and subsequently the 2-ethylthiomethyl-phenol was distilled off under 1.5 mm Hg. 128 g of 2-ethylthiomethyl-phenol (ca. 95% of theory) were obtained.
