Reaction Steps

A solution of 15 grams of 1,3-bis-(phenylthio)-2-propyl acrylate, 9.2 grams of dodecanethiol, and 1 milliliter of "Triton B" in 75 milliliters of ethanol was heated under reflux for 53/4 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool and was then poured into water. The oil which precipitated was separated by extraction with toluene and the toluene solution was stripped on a rotary evaporator. There remained 24.0 grams of a light colored oil which was identified as 1,3-bis-(phenylthio)-2-propyl 3-(dodecylthio)propionate by means of its NMR spectrum.
