Divinyl sulfide

Divinyl sulfide is the organosulfur compound with the formula S(CH=CH2)2. It is a colorless liquid with a faint odor. It is found in the oil of some species of Allium.[1][2]

It is notable as the product from hydrogen sulfide and acetylene, a combination that arises when acetylene is generated by hydrolysis of technical grade calcium carbide, which contains impurities of calcium sulfide.[3]

Divinylsulfide was first prepared in 1920 by the reaction of sulfur mustard with sodium ethoxide:[3]

(ClCH2CH2)2S + 2 NaOEt → (CH2=CH)2S + 2 EtOH + 2 NaCl

A variety of monovinyl sulfides are known, often arising from the reactions of thiols and acetylenes.[4]
