An expedient synthesis of methyl vinyl sulfide from dimethyl disulfide and acetylene
Abstract:
Dimethyl disulfide reacts with acetylene under atmospheric pressure in basic reductive systems MOH (M=Na, K)–N2H4?·?H2O–N-methylpyrrolidone and Na2S?·?9H2O–N2H4?·?H2O–N-methylpyrrolidone to form methyl vinyl sulfide in up to 79% yield.
