REACTION BETWEEN DISULPHUR MONOXIDE AND PIPERIDINE IN ORGANIC SOLVENTS

Abstract

When the products or combustion of sulphur in oxygen at low pressure are passed through cooled organic solvents, fairly pure solutions of disulphur monoxide can be obtained in the case of carbon tetrachloride. Toluene and anisolf solutions contain considerably large quantities &f sulphur dioxide associated with disulphur monoxide. In the presence or piperidine, the solvent effect is nearly same in all the three cases on account of the reactivity of piperidine with the oxides of sulphur. The influence of piperidine is observed in the variation of the products of hydrolysis in alkali and acid media. The nature of the sulphur compounds with piperidine has also been investigated with anhydrous hydrogen iodide.
