Reaction Steps
126.17 grams (1 mole) of p-mercaptophenol is added into 714.6 grams of acetic anhydride with 5 cc. of sulfuric acid. After the resulting mixture is heated at 100° C. for 2 hours, it is allowed to cool and is poured into 3 l. of water in order to precipitate the product. The solid is filtered, recrystallized from 3.5 l. of hexane and dried overnight at 100° C. to yield 198.5 grams of 4-mercaptophenol diacetate which has a melting range of 73-75° C.
