Abstract
Abstract In preparing organic sulfides by reacting olefins (e.g., butylenes) with a sulfur halide to form a sulfohalogenated intermediate which is subsequently sulfurized and dehalogenated by reaction with an aqueous solution of an alkali metal sulfide compound to form a noncorrosive organic sulfide product of high sulfur content, the copper strip corrosion activity is improved by resulfurizing the sulfurized olefin by contacting it with additional aqueous metal sulfide in the presence of a lower molecular weight alcohol, such as isopropanol.
