Abstract
Methanol reacts with primary alkanethiols (R=C1–C3) over alumina catalysts to yield dialkyl sulfides. Methanethiol is completely converted to dimethyl sulfide. Ethane-and 2-propanethiols give methyl alkyl sulfides. However, the process is complicated by side reactions producing olefins and dimethyl sulfide. If mixed thiols are used, their transformations hinder each other.
