The radiation-induced free radical addition of hydrogen sulfide to propylene to give n-propylmercaptan and di-n-propylsulfide has been studied. The direction of the addition to propylene is consistent with that of the radical addition to such olefins previously studied, suggesting that the SH is both the adding and chain-carrying species. The addition of the thiol to propylene has been found to undergo a free radical chain reaction, readily yielding di-n-propylsulfide in the succeeding step.
