Conclusions
-
1.
The reactions ofβ-hydroxyalkyl Sulfides withα olefin oxides proceed through the formation of sulfonium ions.
-
2.
True rate constants, valid over a wide range of concentrations, have been determined for the various steps in the reaction of n-octylβ-hydroxyethyl sulfide with propylene oxide.
