Reaction Steps

A mixture of 16.7 g (0.1 mole) of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, 150 ml of dioxane, 5 ml of 0.5% methylene blue in acetone, and 18 ml (0.1 mole) of 1-octene was shaken in a Parr shaker under 25 psig O2 and irradiated with a 275 watt G.E. Sunlamp for 72 hours at 25° C. The mixture was filtered and evaporated in a Rinco rotary evaporator at 40° C. and 0.5-1 Torr. to give 30.1 g (96.8 mole %) of brown, viscous product 1- (2-hydroxyoctyl 2-benzothiazolyl sulfoxide. It analyzed C, 57.8%; H, 6.6%; N, 4.2%; S, 20.3%.
