Russian Journal of Organic Chemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Gas-phase reaction of bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide (Yperite) with acetylene at 550–700°C leads to formation of thiophene in 45% yield, the conversion of the initial sulfide being complete. The yield of thiophene reaches 63–68% in the thermolysis of a mixture of acetylene, bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide, and lower organic disulfides.
