Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process produces a mono vinyl thioether by reacting acetylene with a compound containing one thiol group and one hydroxy group, referred to as a thiol-hydroxy compound, where the reaction is performed at a pressure below 2 bars.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process to produce a mono vinyl thioether, the process comprising: reacting acetylene with a thiol-hydroxy compound comprising one thiol group and one hydroxy group, wherein the reaction is performed at a pressure below 2 bars. 2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the thiol-hydroxy compound is a compound of formula I: HS—R—OH wherein R is a linear or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon group which may comprise oxygen in the form of ether groups. 3. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the thiol-hydroxy compound is 2-hydroxy-ethane-1-thiol. 4. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the process is a process to produce vinyl thioethanol of formula: H 2 C═CH—S—CH 2 —CH 2 —OH. 5. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the reaction is performed in presence of a catalyst. 6. The process according to claim 5 , wherein the catalyst is an alkali salt of the thiol-hydroxy compound. 7. The process according to claim 5 , wherein the catalyst is used in an amount of 0.1 to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the thiol-hydroxy compound. 8. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the reaction is performed at a pressure below 1.5 bars. 9. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the acetylene is fed directly into a liquid phase comprising the thiol-hydroxy compound and any products already formed. 10. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the acetylene is fed continuously to a reactor and unreacted acetylene as well as any other gaseous compounds are withdrawn from the reactor while the pressure is kept below 2 bars.
