Reaction Steps

When a mixture of 10 ml of di-t-butyl sulfide and 2.5 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide was heated at 300° F. (149° C.) for about 40 minutes in the presence of catalytic amounts of hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride a 42 percent yield of di-t-butyl disulfide was obtained, as indicated by gas-liquid chromatography.
