Abstract:
A process includes reacting, in a reactor having a fixed bed containing a solid catalyst which contains a heterogeneous ion exchange resin, hydrogen sulfide and ethylene oxide in the presence of the solid catalyst to yield a reaction product which contains beta-mercaptoethanol. A reactor system includes the reactor, an ethylene oxide stream, a hydrogen sulfide stream, a fixed bed containing the solid catalyst placed in the reactor, and an effluent stream containing the reaction product. During steady state operation of the reactor in the process and the reactor system, the hydrogen sulfide and the ethylene oxide are present in a mole ratio in a range of about 9:1 to about 20:1.

Abstract:
The halogen-terminated sulfur-containing polymer of the present invention is a halogen-terminated sulfur-containing polymer represented by the following formula: €ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒX-(R-S r ) n -R-X wherein R is an ether bond-containing alkyl group having 3 to 26 carbon atoms, X is a halogen atom, n is an integer of 1 to 200, and r has an average of 1 to 5. The halogen-terminated sulfur-containing polymer of the present invention is industrially very useful as a plasticizer of a polysulfide polymer. In addition, the halogen-terminated sulfur-containing polymer of the present invention can be used as a plasticizer for thioether polymers and high polar resins such as vinyl chloride, and an additive for materials that require a high refractive index such as an optical fiber. The halogen-terminated sulfur-containing polymer of the present invention is effective as an intermediate of a thiol group-terminated polysulfide polymer and the like.
