A 20 weight percent aqueous solution of sodium sulfide was prepared by dissolving sodium sulfide (ca. 428 grams, 5.49 moles) in the form of hydrated flakes (714 grams, ca. 60%) into 1430 grams of water in a 5-liter round-bottomed flask. This solution was then cooled by means of an ice-water bath and converted to an aqueous solution of sodium hydrosulfide by saturating it with an excess of hydrogen sulfide by adding hydrogen sulfide with stirring until no more was absorbed. A portion (163 grams, 0.77 mole) of this sodium hydrosulfide solution was removed. A dropping funnel was charged with octanoyl chloride (794 grams, 4.88 moles). With the temperature of the sodium hydrosulfide solution in the 5-liter flask at 9° C., the addition of the octanoyl chloride to the 5-liter flask was begun with stirring of the contents of the 5-liter flask with a mechanical stirrer. No phase transfer catalyst was added. The addition of the octanoyl chloride was completed over the course of 6.3 hours with a final temperature of 10° C. The contents of the 5-liter flask was kept between 8 and 10° C. during the course of the addition. At this point, a pH measurement, using pH paper, revealed that the solution was alkaline. Additional octanoyl chloride was added dropwise (totaling 15 additional grams) to the stirred solution until a neutral pH reading was obtained. The contents of the 5-liter flask was then allowed to reach ambient temperature and stirring was stopped, yielding a clear, slightly viscous, one-phase aqueous solution of sodium thiooctanoate and sodium chloride.
