Reaction Steps

The procedure was as described in Example 1 but in place of methyl acrylate there were employed 184 grams of octyl acrylate and first there were added 250 ml of dilute H2SO4 (4N) and the later 300 ml of dilute H2SO4. After the fractional distillation there were isolated 174.5 grams (corresponding to a yield of 80%) of 3-mercaptopropionic acid octyl ester.
