Reaction Steps

49.6 g (0.4 mol) of 2-hydroxymethyl-phenol were reacted with 24.8 g (0.4 mol) of ethylmercaptan in 200 ml of solvent or diluent for 5 hours at 170° C. under autogenous pressure in a VA stirred autoclave. Depending on the solvent or diluent, working up by distillation gave the following yields of 2-ethylthiomethyl-phenol (Table 1):
