Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.1 mole (15.4 g.) 3,5-dichloro-2-pentanone, 0.1 mole (9.4 g.) ethanedithiol and 0.3 mole PTSA was stirred at room temperature overnight. The product was taken up in toluene, washed with 5% sodium bicarbonate and water, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and the solvent removed. The product was distilled; bp. 114°-116°/0.7 mm. Yield 32%.
