The thioetherification of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) in ethylenediamine or ethylenediaminetetrahydrofuran has been compared with the reactions of model compounds e. g., s-butyl chloride, 1, 3- and 1, 4-dichlorobutane to. elucidate a polymer effect of this reaction. The rate of the thioetherification of PVC is proportional to [PVC] and [thiols] and is almost similar to that of s-butyl chloride. As the thioether group first formed activates remaining chlorine atom during the thioetherification of 1, 3- and 1, 4-dichlorobutane, chlorine atoms is PVC would presumably be activated by the thioether group introduced and probably by the formation of sulfonium salts. In addition, such a neighboring effect of aliphatic thioether group seemed to be stronger than that of aromatic thioether group.
