| | ETHYLENE SULFIDE Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | clear colourless liquid | | Uses | - Ethylene sulfide is generally used in the preparation of organosulfur compounds, especially for mercaptoethylation of primary and secondary amines to obtain aminothiols.
- It is used in the synthesis of dendritic thioether ligands to stabilize gold nanoparticles (Au NPs).
- Chitosan can be chemically modified by treating ethylene sulfide to obtain a biopolymer for the removal of divalent cations from aqueous solutions.
| | Definition | ChEBI: Thiirane is a saturated organic heteromonocyclic parent and an organosulfur heterocyclic compound. | | Safety Profile | Poison by ingestion,
intraperitoneal, and subcutaneous routes.
Mddly toxic by inhalation. A skin, eye, and
mucous membrane irritant. Questionable
carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic
data. Can react with oxidizing materials.
When heated to decomposition, or on
contact with acid or acid fumes, it emits
highly toxic fumes of SOx. See also
