1-Dodecanethiol → Sodium dodecane-1-thiolate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In another flask, sodium methoxide (8.1 g, 150 mmol) was dissolved in 10 ml methanol, and dodecanethiol (32.8 ml, 136.6 mmol) was added. The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes. The solvent was then evaporated under reduced pressure at 90° C. Traces of methanol were evaporated by adding toluene and evaporating it at reduced pressure at 100° C. for two hours.
