Kinnear, A. M. published the artcileComposition of mustard gas made by the Levinstein process, HPLC of Formula: 1002-41-1, the publication is Journal of the Society of Chemical Industry, London, Transactions and Communications (1948), 107-10, database is CAplus.
cf. Fuson, et al., C.A. 41, 689g. A sample of Levinstein mustard gas was found to contain 61.4% S(CH2CH2Cl)2 (I), m. 14.45°; 4.3% S2(CH2CH2Cl)2 (II), colorless liquid, m. 0.2°, b0.3 90-2°; 17.4% S3(CH2CH2Cl)2 (III), m. 27°, b0.3 110-12°; 10.7% S (free and combined with III); 6.2% tars and exptl. losses. I, II, and III were synthesized as follows: HOCH2CH2Cl and Na2S4 gave S(C2H4OH)2, S2(C2H4OH)2, and S3(C2H4OH)2. These products and HCl gave I, II, and III, resp. On boiling with NaI in MeOH, II gave S2(CH2CH2I)2, m. 42°. II and PhONa in alc. gave S2(CH2CH2OPh)2, m. 96°. The labile polysulfide (IV) (S combined with III), upon boiling in Me2CO formed S and III. IV was synthesized by heating 1 g. mol. III with 3 g. atoms rhombic S at 110° for several hrs. Since I or II do not form polysulfides on heating with S, it is thought that IV has a structure of the type (ClCH2CH2S)2SâSâSâ?or(ClCH2CH2S)2Sâ?sub>SâSâ?/sub>âSâSâ?
