Reaction Steps

A 4-(nonylthio)phenol was prepared as follows. 63 Grams of 4-mercaptophenol and 5 grams of toluene sulfonic acid were heated to 60° C. Then 76 grams of nonene (approximately 55 percent 2,4-di-methyl-1-heptene) were added over a 38 minute period. The flask contents were neutralized with 5 grams of Na2CO3 in aqueous solution, decanted and stripped to a pot temperature of 180° C. at 26 millimeters of mercury. The product weighed 113 grams.
