production method | is derived from the reaction of bromobutane with thiourea. Thiourea and butyl bromide were heated and refluxed for 3H in methanol solvent, and after methanol was recovered, diluted alkali solution was added and refluxed for 6H. Cooling, slowly add 1:2 dilute sulfuric acid to Ph 2, with the addition of dilute sulfuric acid, butanethiol distilled out. After the completion of the addition of sulfuric acid, water vapor distillation was performed until the oil-free beads were distilled off. The oil layer was separated, dried with anhydrous calcium chloride, and the 97-98 ℃ fraction was fractionated and collected to be the finished product. |
