Hanaoka, Shigeyuki published the artcileDetermination of mustard and lewisite related compounds in abandoned chemical weapons (Yellow Shells) from sources in China and Japan, Application In Synthesis of 1002-41-1, the publication is Journal of Chromatography A (2006), 1101(1-2), 268-277, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
Knowledge of the states of the contents in chem. munitions that Japanese Imperial Forces abandoned at the end of World War II in Japan and China is gravely lacking. To unearth and recover these chem. weapons and detoxify the contents safely, it is essential to establish anal. procedures to definitely determine the CWA contents. We established such a procedure and applied it to the anal. of chems. in the abandoned shells. Yellow shells are known to contain sulfur mustard, lewisite, or a mixture of both. Lewisite was analyzed without thiol derivatization, because it and its decomposition products yield the same substances in the derivatization. Anal. using our new procedure showed that both mustard and lewisite remained as the major components after the long abandonment of ∼60 yr. The content of mustard was 43% and that of lewisite 55%. The viscous material found was suggested to be mostly oligomers of mustard. Comparison of the components in the Yellow agents with mustard recovered in both Japan and China showed a difference in the impurities between the CWAs produced by the former Imperial navy and those by the former Imperial army.
