Reaction Steps

1,3-bis-(benzylthio)-2-propyl acrylate was prepared by using benzyl mercaptan in place of dodecanethiol in the procedure described in Steps (1) and (2) of Example 1. A solution of 14 grams of the acrylate, 5.8 grams of benzyl mercaptan and 1 milliliter of "Triton B" in 75 milliliters of ethanol was heated under reflux for 71/4 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 21.0 grams of a light colored oil which was identified as 1,3-bis-(benzylthio)-2-propyl 3-(benzylthio)propionate by means of its NMR spectrum.
