Hexyl mercaptan

A mixture of 51 g. (0.5 mole) of n-hexyl alcohol, 38 g. (0.5 mole) of thiourea, and 256 g. (1.5 moles) of 48% hydrobromic acid is stirred and heated to reflux for 9 hours. A solution of 60 g. (1.5 moles) of sodium hydroxide in 600 ml. of water is added, and the resulting mixture is heated under reflux for 2 hours, without stirring and with a stream of nitrogen passing over the surface of the liquid. The layers are separated, and the aqueous layer is acidified and extracted with ether. The combined ethereal extracts are dried over anhydrous calcium sulfate and distilled through a 12-in. packed column. n-Hexyl mercaptan is obtained in 71% yield. It boils at 149-152° at atmospheric pressure. 

The following mercaptans are prepared by the same procedure in the yields indicated isobutyl, 56% n-octyl, 73% n-dodecyl, 77% cetyl, 64% /3-phenylethyl, 70% sec-butyl, 64% hexamethylene, 63% and decamethylene, 48%. Double the above molar amounts of hydrobromic acid and thiourea are used in the preparation of hexamethylene and decamethylene mercaptan.

There is evidence that some compounds found in meat are produced by an interaction between phases. For example, hexyl mercaptan or ethyl butyl disulfide would seem to come from free radicals originating in part in the protein and in part in the lipid portions of the meat. Although the current work has seemingly provided greater insight into the mechanisms of irradiation damage in meat, it has also raised more questions. Further studies will be directed toward relating the effects of irradiation on model systems of fat and protein substances in mixtures to try to clear up some of the questions of phase interactions.
