(Vinylsulfanyl)benzene(CAS: 1822-73-7)

(Vinylsulfanyl)benzene is a colorless liquid with a molecular weight of approximately 150.2 g/mol. It has a low solubility in water but is more soluble in organic solvents. Chemically, it is reactive towards nucleophiles and exhibits aromatic properties.

(Vinylsulfanyl)benzene is commonly synthesized via electrophilic substitution of vinyl bromide with thiols in presence of a base. The reaction conditions can vary, but typically involve the use of anhydrous sodium hydride and an appropriate solvent like dimethylformamide (DMF).

(Vinylsulfanyl)benzene finds application in the polymer industry for the production of functionalized polymers and as a monomer. It is also used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and as a precursor in the development of sensors and semiconductors.

Handling (Vinylsulfanyl)benzene requires the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. It should be stored in a well-ventilated area and away from sources of ignition. In case of spill, it should be handled according to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
