Summary
-
1.
A method for obtaining 2,2-bis-(alkylthio)-propan-1-ols has been developed which is based on the reaction of 2-methyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolan with mercaptans on heating at 70–80° in the absence of acidic catalysts.
-
2.
In the presence of acidic catalysts, 2-methyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolans react with mercaptans with the cleavage of the dioxolan ring and the replacement of the hydroxy group by a thioalkyl radical, giving rise to 1,2,2-tris-(alkylthio)-propanes.
