HCID 27604132-Phenylthiophenol

Product 1

HCID 7095Biphenyl

Conditions

Temperature: 375 °C

Procedure

A volume of 1.5 ml of a tetralin solution containing 0.1 M of 2-phenylthiopheol was placed into 3 ml stainless-steel mini-bomb inside a dry-box. The mini-bomb was heated at 375° C. in an oven for a certain period of time and the content analyzed by GC/MS. Results in Table 1 below indicate desulfurization of 2-phenylthiophenol, giving biphenyl as the major product.
