A highly efficient and general route to obtain the alkyl derivatives of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole is described. Depending on the reaction conditions 2-methylmercaptobenzothiazole gave various products with chlorinating agents probably due to the lability of the probable chlorosulfonium ion intermediate.

A method on the determination of Co(II) after adsorbing of Co(II) on 2-mercaptobenzothiazole-loaded silica gel was studied. The conditions on the separation of Co(II) such as pH of solution, the amount of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, the flow rate for adsorption, and the desorption solvent were optimized to 9.0, 0.05 g, $10mL\;min^{-1}$ and 1 M $HNO_3$ in ethanol, respectively. Under these optimum conditions, the calibration curve of Co(II) was obtained over concentration range of $2{\sim}120ng\;mL^{-1}$. The detection limit was $0.6ng\;mL^{-1}$. Recovery yields of Co(II) in various natural water samples were more than 90%.

A sensitive technique for the determination of trace Cd(II) in various real samples after preconcentration onto microcrystalline p-dichlorobenzene loaded with 2-mercaptobenzothiazole was developed. Several experimental conditions such as the pH of the sample solution, the amount of chelating agent 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, the amount of adsorbent p-dichlorobenzene-2-MBT, and the flow rate of sample solution were optimized. The interfering effects of various concomitant ions were investigated. Cu(II) interfered with more seriously than any other ions. However, the interference by Cu(II) could be overcome sufficiently by adjusting tartrate ion concentration to be 0.01M or by controlling the amount of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole contained in 0.20 g p-dichlorobenzene to be 0.12 g. The dynamic range, the correlation coefficient ($R^2$) and the detection limit obtained by this proposed technique were $0.5{\sim}30$ ng $mL^{-1}$, 0.9962, and 0.39 ng $mL^{-1}$, respectively. Thus, good results were obtained by the use of p-dichlorobenze as adsorbent matrix. For validating this proposed technique, the aqueous samples(wastewater, stream water, and reservoir water) and the plastic sample were used. Recovery yields of $93{\sim}104$ % were obtained. By F test, these measured data were not different from ICP-MS data at 95 % confidence level. Based on the results from the experiment, it was found that this proposed technique could be applied to the preconcentration and determination of Cd(II) in various real samples.

2-Mercaptobenzothiazole was used as a highly selective and efficient carrier for the uphill transport of silver ion through a chloroform bulk liquid membrane. In the presence of thiosulfate ion as a suitable metal ion acceptor in the receiving phase, the amount of silver transported across the liquid membrane after 180 min was 90 ± 3.0%. The selectivity and efficiency of silver ion transported from aqueous solutions containing equimolar mixtures of $Zn^{2+}, Cu^{2+}, Co^{2+}, Ni^{2+}, Cd^{2+}, Pb^{2+}, Bi^{3+}, Fe^{2+}, Fe^{3+}, Pd^{2+}, Mn^{2+}, Hg^{2+}, Sn^{2+}, Ca^{2+}, Mg^{2+}, K^+, Na^+ and Li^+$ were investigated.

A solvent sublation has been studied for the determination of trace Au(III), Pt(IV) and Pd(II) in waste water with their complexes of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT). Experimental conditions such as the concentration of HCl, the amount of MBT as a ligand, the type and amount of surfactants, bubbling rate and time, and the type of organic solvent were optimized for the solvent sublation, i.e., 25.0 mL of 2.0 M HCl solution and 30mL of 0.4%(w/v) MBT ethanolic solution were added to a 1.0 L sample to form stable complexes. The addition of 4.0 mL of 1 ${\times}$$10^{-3}$ M CTAB (cetyltrimehtylammonium bromide) solution was needed for the effective flotation accomplished by bubbling nitrogen gas at the rate of 40.0 mL/min for 35 minutes. As a solvent, 20.0 mL of MIBK (methylisobuthylketone) was used to extract the floated complexes. The procedure was applied to three kinds of waste waters. Au(III) was determined as 0.68 ng/mL and 0.98 ng/mL respectively for final washed water of two plating industries in Banwol. Pd(II) and Pt(IV) were not detected in any of the three samples. The recovery, which was obtained with analyte-spiked samples, were 95-120%.

The simple and convenient determination of trace Hg(II) with its 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) complex in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) media has been studied. The UV-visible spectrum of Hg(II)-MBT complex in CTAB media had a good sensitivity and reproducibility. The Hg(II)-MBT complex in CTAB solution was very stable at pH 10.0 and could be quantitatively complexed if MBT were added to the sample solution more than 10 equivalent of Hg(II). The optimum concentration of CTAB was 0.001%. The calibration curve of Hg(II)-MBT complex with good linearity ($R^2$ = 0.9985) was obtained at the concentration range between $1.0{\times}10^-7$ and $1.0{\times}10^-5$ M in 0.001% CTAB media. The detection limit was $3.1{\times}10^-8$ M (6.2 ng m$L^{-1}$). Hg(II) in the synthetic samples and in the wastewater of the university's wastewater tank and the industrial wastewater tank could also be determined. Based on the experimental results, this proposed technique could be applied to the simple and convenient determination of trace Hg(II) in real samples.

A series of oleic acid esters containing mercaptobenzothiazole and dialkylenedithiocarbamate, which are potential environmentally friendly lubricating grease additives, were synthesized as 90% yield through several method such as nucleophilic substitution of dialkyl amine and carbon disulfide, reduction reaction, and condensation reaction. The structures of the additives were confirmed by $^1H$-NMR, FT-IR and EA analysis. The additives (1 wt%) were soluble in 100 N BO except C4-DTC-OE and soluble in soybean oil. The tribological properties as lubricating additives in 100 N BO were evaluated using 4-ball tester and the results showed as follows: Bz-thia-OE < C4-DTC-OE < Pyrro-DTC-OE < C8-DTC-OE. Whereas, the 4-ball anti-wear properties were not shown in soybean oil.

The electrochemical reduction of N-tert-butylbenzothiazole-2-sulfenamide (TBBS; vulcanization accelerator) was investigated by direct current, differential pulse polarography, cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential coulometry. The electrode reduction of TBBS proceeded E-C-E-C reaction mechanism by four electrons transfer at irreversible one wave (-2.31 volts vs. Ag/0.1M AgN$O_3$ in AN). As the results of controlled potential electrolysis, mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT), benzothiazole disulfide (MBT dimer) and extricated sulfur were products which followed by cleavage of the sulfenamide (-S-N=) bond. Upon the basis of products analysis and polarogram interpretation with pH variable, electrochemical reaction mechanism was suggested.
