Technical Field

Background
Bis (2, 3-ethylpropyl) sulfide is one of sulfur heterocyclic compounds, which are important medical intermediates, optical materials and are widely applied to various fields. The bis (2, 3-ethylpropyl) sulfide is a thioepoxy group, and at present, the bis (2, 3-ethylpropyl) sulfide can be polymerized to obtain a thioepoxy group spectacle lens with high light transmittance, high diopter, high hardness and difficult abrasion. With the development of polymer chemistry, it is believed that the use of bis (2, 3-ethylpropyl) sulfide as a starting material is more widespread.
The patent US2012/309987, JP2015/44880 or EP2805949 uses epichlorohydrin to open the ring with a vulcanizing agent (H 2 S or NaHS), then closes the ring under strong alkaline conditions, and finally exchanges oxygen and sulfur with the vulcanizing agent (thiourea) to prepare bis (2, 3-ethylpropyl) sulfide. The method is applied to hydrogen sulfide or is easy to generate hydrogen sulfide, has high requirements on equipment and safety, has longer steps, is easy to generate incomplete conversion of symmetrical two side functional groups in the process of ring closure and oxygen-sulfur exchange, and does not give a pure product of the bis (2, 3-ethyl propyl) sulfide.
