Preparation of Aqueous Sodium Thiooctanoate. A 16 weight percent aqueous solution of sodium sulfide was prepared by dissolving sodium sulfide (101 grams, 1.29 moles) in the form of hydrated flakes (168 grams, 60%) into 463 grams of water in a 5-liter round-bottomed flask. A dropping funnel was charged with octanoyl chloride (210.5 grams, 1.294 moles). The temperature of the sodium sulfide solution in the 5-liter flask measured 23° C. The addition of the octanoyl chloride to the 5-liter flask was begun with stirring of the contents of the 5-liter flask with a mechanical stirrer, immediately after the addition of 0.21 grams of a concentrated aqueous solution of methyltrioctylammonium chloride to the 5-liter flask. The addition of the octanoyl chloride was completed in 3 minutes with external cooling of the 5-liter flask using an ice-water bath. The contents of the 5-liter flask reached a maximum temperature of 59° C. The contents of the 5-liter flask were then cooled to ambient temperature and stirring was stopped, yielding a clear, slightly viscous, one-phase aqueous solution of sodium thiooctanoate and sodium chloride.
