Pressure Dependence of the Reaction of Thiolane with H and D Atom

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.60.3843

The title reaction was investigated at room temperature and under pressures ranging from 133 to 2660 Pa, using a conventional discharge flow reactor. 1-Butanethiol, butane, and 1-butene were the main products, whose compositions varied according to the pressure.In the reaction with deuterium atom, 1-butene was monodeuterated, while 1-butanethiol and butane were dideuterated.The following mechanism was proposed to account for the product compositions and their pressure dependencies as well as the deuterium labeling of the products.
