Abstract

The addition of a thiol to an olefin in the presence of a peroxide catalystlb or under the influence of ultraviolet light2 has been demonstrated to be a general reaction which proceeds smoothly to give high yields of a product of definite composition. Thus, the reaction meets the requirements for a suitable polymer-forming reaction. nHS (CH2) zSH f~ CHFCH- (CH~)~-CH= CH~+
