Procedure

Thiolauric acid (15 g) is dissolved in dry ethanol (50 ml) and thereto is added a solution of ethylene oxide (15 ml) in cold dry ethanol (20 ml) and the mixture is allowed to stand at room temperature overnight. The solvent is distilled off under reduced pressure and the resulting residue is recrystallized from petroleum ether to give colorless scales of S-lauroylmercaptoethanol (8 g), m.p. 45° - 46° C (SH test with DTNB: negative).

Workup
