To study the mechanism of the sulfur vulcanization of rubber, 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene (C 612 ) was used as a simple, low-molecular-weight model alkene. Only equivalent allylic positions are present in this alkene. Treating C 6 H 12 with a mixture of Zn, S 8 , and the accelerator tetramethylthiuramdisulfide at 140°C yields a mixture of addition products (C 6 H 11 -S n -C 6 H 11 ). RP-HPLC in combination with MS and H-NMR shows that the products differ only in the length of the sulfur bridge. Small quantities of isomerized products have been found, in which a 1,3-shift of the double bonf has occuredread more

Influence of zinc oxide during different stages of sulfur vulcanization. Elucidated by model compound studies
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of zinc oxide (ZnO) as an activator for the sulfur vulcanization of rubbers has been investigated and the results demonstrate that the curing and physical properties can be retained when the level of ZnO (Red Seal) is reduced to 1 or 2 phr, respectively.

Zinc(II)‐Catalyzed Disproportionation in Rubber: The mechanism of Sulfur Vulcanization Revisited
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a cross-link precursors, intermediates in the sulfur vulcanization of rubber, are transformed into cross-links by a nonsymmetric but regiosclective disproportionation mechanism, catalyzed by rubber-soluble zinc dithio- carbamatc complexes.
