Reaction Steps

A 4-(hexylthio)phenol was prepared as follows. In a one liter flask equipped with thermometer, stirring rod and water condenser was added 126 grams of 4-mercaptophenol and 7 grams of toluenesulfonic acid. The flask contents were heated to 60° C. and 93 grams of 2-methyl-1-pentene were added over a fifty minute period. The flask contents were neutralized with 9 grams of Na2CO3 in aqueous solution and decanted. The reaction product was stripped to a pot temperature of 80° C. at 20 millimeters of mercury. It weighed 216 grams.
