An improved process is provided for reacting starting materials in the presence of an acid catalyst in a reaction zone to produce an acid sensitive product. The starting materials are circulated in the reaction zone through a fixed bed of solid acid-type ion exchange resin to thereby catalyze the reaction, and the resulting reaction product is withdrawn from the reaction zone. Starting materials comprised a mercaptan and an aldehyde or ketone are reacted in accordance with the process to produce high yields of aliphatic hydroxyalkyl or hydroxyaryl sulfide.
提供了一种改进的工艺,用于在反应区存在酸性催化剂的情况下反应起始物,以产生对酸敏感的产物。起始物在反应区通过固体酸性离子交换
树脂的固定床中循环,从而催化反应,并从反应区中提取所得的反应产物。按照该工艺反应由巯基醇和醛或酮组成,以产生高收率的脂肪族羟基烷基或羟基芳基
硫醚。
