Abstract
γ-Induced addition reactions of thiols to methyl oleate were investigated and the corresponding sulfides were prepared in yield of 94-97%. The adducts consisted of approximately equal amount of C-9-adduct and C-10-adduct. The effects of concentration of ethanethiol, dose and solvent were examined. Diethyl disulfide and sulfide also afforded the ethanethiol adducts in lower yield.
