Divinyl sulfide is a chemical compound from the group of organosulfur compounds .

Occurrence

Divinyl sulfide occurs naturally in wild garlic .

Extraction and presentation

Divinyl sulfide was first synthesized in 1920 by OB Helfrich and EE Reid. In studying the reaction of mustard gas with sodium ethoxide , they isolated the compound in place of the expected 2,2'-diethoxydiethyl sulfide.

Later, when investigating the dehydrochlorination of mustard gas with alcoholic potassium hydroxide , SH Bales and SA Nickelson showed that the main product of this reaction is also divinyl sulfide in yields of 26 to 35%, depending on the concentration of the water in the reaction mixture. Many other synthetic methods are known today.

A method with high yield is the synthesis by reaction of acetylene with hydrogen sulfide . The appearance of divinyl sulfide in acetylene during its manufacture from calcium carbide can be attributed to the presence of traces of calcium sulfide in commercially available calcium carbide.

properties

Divinyl sulfide is an unstable colorless liquid with a slight odor that is sparingly soluble in water. It is decomposed by concentrated sulfuric acid and turns red.
