Reaction Steps

A solution of 16.5 grams of 1,3-bis-(benzylthio)-2-propyl acrylate, 9.45 grams of dodecanethiol, and 1 milliliter of "Triton B" in 75 milliliters of ethanol was heated under reflux for 11 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool and was then poured into water. The oil which precipitated was separated by extraction with hexane and the hexane solution was stripped on a rotary evaporator. The residue, which weighed 22.5 grams, was identified as 1,3-bis-(benzylthio)-2-propyl 3-(dodecylthio)propionate by means of its NMR spectrum.
