Abstract
The accelerated oxidation of 2-methyl-2-propanethiol by ethanethiol wa s discovered first through the kinetics study of homogeneous catalytic cooxidation of mixed 2-methyl-2-propanethiol and ethanethiol. A mecha nism which conforms well to the experimental results was proposed, and the derived rate law follows the two-substrate Michaelis-Menten equat ion. Discussion is presented for the industrial sweetening operation i n view of the mechanism.
