Reaction Steps

Furfuryl propyl disulfide was prepared by a Bunte salt reaction. Sodium furfurylthiolate was prepared by reaction of furfuryl mercaptan with sodium hydroxide in water. Sodium propylthiosulfate (Bunte salt) was prepared by reaction of bromopropane with sodium thiosulfate in a mixture of methanol/water. The reaction of the two salts, sodium furfurylthiolate and sodium propylthiosulfate, in water yielded furfuryl propyl disulfide.
