PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF SULFUR COMPOUNDS

摘要

A process for producing a sulfur compound bearing at least one thio group in the molecule by reacting a thiol compound with an organic compound bearing at least one functional group capable of reacting with a mercapto group to thereby form a thio group in the presence of a basic compound, characterized by adjusting the number of moles of water contained in the reaction system to at most 7.5 times the product of the number of moles of the reactant thiol compound and the number of mercapto groups existing in one molecule of the thiol compound.
