Abstract:
A mercaptan core of differential reactivity of the general formula:X--(Y.sub.1 --SH).sub.a (Y.sub.2 --SH).sub.b (Y.sub.3 --SH).sub.c (Y.sub.4 --SH).sub.d (Y.sub.5 --SH).sub.e (Y.sub.6 --SH).sub.f (Y.sub.7 --SH).sub.g (Y.sub.8 --SH).sub.hwherein X is derived from an organic radical having a valence of 3 to 8; Y.sub.1, Y.sub.2, Y.sub.3, Y.sub.4, Y.sub.5, Y.sub.6, Y.sub.7 and Y.sub.8 are the same or different from each other but are not all the same and each comprise C.sub.2-10 alkanoic acid; a and b are integers from 1 to 8, and c, d, e, f, g, h are integers from 0 to 8 provided that a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h.ltoreq.8.
