Abstract

Abstract Reaction of ethylene oxide with methyl mercaptan in the presence of a catalyst, a solution of potassium hydroxide in methyl (β-oxyethyl) sulfide, was studied. Various technological procedures for synthesis of methyl (β-oxyethyl) sulfide were analyzed. The process conditions providing a 98–99% conversion of the starting reagents at a selectivity of 97–98% were suggested.
