clear colourless liquid | [Uses]
- Ethylene sulfide is generally used in the preparation of organosulfur compounds, especially for mercaptoethylation of primary and secondary amines to obtain aminothiols.
- It is used in the synthesis of dendritic thioether ligands to stabilize gold nanoparticles (Au NPs).
- Chitosan can be chemically modified by treating ethylene sulfide to obtain a biopolymer for the removal of divalent cations from aqueous solutions.
| [Definition]
ChEBI:Thiirane is a saturated organic heteromonocyclic parent and an organosulfur heterocyclic compound. |
