Diphenyl sulfide Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

colourless liquid

Uses

Diphenyl Sulfide is an aromatic organosulfur compound. Diphenyl Sulfide is metabolite of the fungicide Edifenphos as well as a potential Impurity of Fenticonazole Nitrate (F279250).

Uses

Diphenyl sulfide is used as a raw material for triaryl sulfonium photoinitiator, intermediates for agrichemicals, catalyst, metal extractants.

Definition

ChEBI: An aryl sulfide that consists of two phenyl groups connected by a sulphur atom.

Flammability and Explosibility

Not classified

Purification Methods

Wash the sulfide with aqueous 5% NaOH, then water. Dry it with CaCl2, then with sodium. The sodium is filtered off, and the diphenyl sulfide is distiiled under reduced pressure. [Beilstein 2 H 299, 6 IV 1488.]
