Reaction Steps

A reaction mixture of 20 g. of glycerol, 40 g. of thioglycolic acid, 0.3 g. of p-toluenesulfonic acid, and 30 g. of toluene was refluxed in a nitrogen atmosphere, for 1 hr. at 108°-117° C and 1 hr. at 117° C to 120° C. 7.6 g. of water of condensation were collected, compared to an expected 7.8 g. The reaction mixture was stripped to a pot temperature of 120° C at 5 torr. The residual product was a clear and colourless liquid.
