A mixture of the two isomers of 1-chlorophospholene-l-oxide, obtained by a one-step, high-yield procedure reported previously1, upon reaction with P4S10 was converted to a mixture of the two isomers of 1-chlorophospholene-l-sulfide which may be separated by spinning-band distillation. The thus obtained isomerically pure 1-chlorophospholene-1sulfides were hydrolyzed to the corresponding 1-hydrox...

Abstract We report our investigations of the electrical resistivity, Seebeck coefficient, thermal conductivity, and heat capacity on the ternary sulfide NiV2S4 as a function of temperature. All measured physical quantities exhibit pronounced anomalies at around 165 K, with a significant hysteresis of about 10 K. The results of electrical transport measurements show conventional metallic-like ch...

Single crystals of manganese(II) octa-uranium(IV) hepta-deca-sulfide, MnU(8)S(17), were grown from the reaction of the elements in a RbCl flux. MnU(8)S(17) crystallizes in the space group C2/m in the CrU(8)S(17) structure type. The asymmetric unit is composed of the following atoms with site symmetries shown: U1 (1), U2 (m), U3 (m), Mn1 (2/m), S1 (1), S2 (1); S3 (m), S4 (m), S5 (m), S6 (m) and ...

Asymmetric synthesis of the sulfide lactones 12 and 13 in excellent enantiopurity is achieved by reduction of cyclohexanone derivative 10 using baker’s yeast, followed by acid catalysed cyclisation. The outcome of the yeast reduction is very sensitive to the reaction conditions employed. Transformation of 12 to the α-diazosulfoxide 4 (≥98%ee) and rhodium acetate catalysed decomposition of this ...

Five new sulfide diketopiperazine derivatives, namely, penicibrocazines A-E (1-5), along with a known congener (6), were isolated and identified from the culture extract of Penicillium brocae MA-231, an endophytic fungus obtained from the fresh tissue of the marine mangrove plant Avicennia marina. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by detailed interpretation of NMR and mass spect...

The synthesis, properties and reactivity of group 11 organotin sulfide clusters [(R(1)Sn)4(SnCl)2(MPPh3)2S8] (M = Cu, Ag), [(R(3)Sn)10Ag10S20], and [(R(1,3)Sn)2(AuPPh3)2S4] with covalently bound, carbonyl or hydrazine-terminated ligands R(1) = CMe2CH2C(Me)O or R(3) = CMe2CH2C(Me)NNH2 are reported.

irst well defined case of the mutagenic effectiveness of chemicals was Tyet:ied for mustard gas treatment of Drosophila by AUERBACH and ROBSON ( 1946). Chemical mutagenesis studies have since been extended to a number of biological systems, including bacteria, fungi and higher organisms. AUERBACH (1965) has discussed the development of chemical mutagenesis in the last 20 years. The application ...

Sulfur mustard agent (HD) (2,2'-dichloroethyl sulfide), a Schedule I compound on the Chemical Weapons Convention Schedule of Chemicals, remains a public health concern because it is simple to synthesize and it is in the chemical weapon stockpiles of several countries. A sensitive, rapid, accurate, and precise method was developed to quantitate trace levels of 1,1'-sulfonylbis [2-(methylthio) et...

Among the most readily available chemical warfare agents, sulfur mustard (SM), also known as mustard gas, has been the most widely used chemical weapon. SM causes debilitating effects that can leave an exposed individual incapacitated for days to months; therefore delayed SM toxicity is of much greater importance than its ability to cause lethality. Although not fully understood, acute toxicity...

Background: Sulfur mustard is one of the chemical warfare gases that has been known as a vesicant or blistering agents. It is a chemical alkylating compound agent that can be frequently absorbed through skin, respiratory system, genital tract, and ocular system. This study was done to pathologically analyze the microscopic pancreatic lesions in cadavers. Methods: This case series study was per...
