Synthesis, Properties, and Application of Sodium Acylthiosulfate. I

Reaction of benzoyl chloride and sodium thiosulfate in hydrous ethanol gave sodium benzoylthiosulfate. Other aromatic and heterocyclic sodium acylthiosulfates were prepared by the use of this reaction. Aliphatic sodium acylthiosulfates were obtained by the reaction of acid chloride and sodium thiosulfate without the use of a solvent.
