Participants

Reaction Steps

Following the addition of 4 ml of DBN (1,5-diazabicyclo-[4,3,0]-non-5-ene), 98.1 g (1 mole) of cyclohexane oxide (Aldrich) were added dropwise to 65 g of ethane thiol (1.05 moles) in 300 ml of methanol. The mixture was kept under reflux overnight in a steam bath, the reflux temperature rising from 325° K. to 338° K. After adjustment to pH~8 with carbon dioxide, the methanol was distilled off and the residue was fractionated in vacuo.
