Abstract

Abstract Potassium thiostearate was electrolyzed in methanol in the presence of an excess of thiostearic acid by the use of platinum electrodes and a direct current. The product obtained by this electrolysis was found to consist of distearoyl disulfide, methyl stearate, stearic acid, and thiostearic acid. The mechanism of the formation of the above components was discussed in contrast with that of the Kolbe reaction of fatty acids.
