Procedure

In a similar manner, ethanol and H2S may be reacted to produce diethyl sulfide, isopropanol and H2S may be reacted to produce di-isopropyl sulfide; tertiary-butanol may be reacted with H2S to produce di-tertiary-butyl sulfide; and octanol-1 may be reacted with H2S to produce di-n-octyl sulfide.
