Products of reaction of the piperylene fraction with elemental sulfur as additives to lubricating oils

A method for quantitative introduction of sulfur into piperylene fraction was developed. The structure of the product was examined, and the effect it exerts on the washing power of bis(oligoisobutenylsuccinimide) in model oil compositions was elucidated. The antiwear and antiscuff properties of the product were tested under pilot conditions.     

Reaction of indolizines with elemental sulfur

The fusion of 3,8-diphenyl-, 1,2-diphenyl-, and 6-methyl-2,7-diphenyl-indolizines with sulfur results in the formation of bis(indolizin-3-yl) disulfides with the respective substituents. Bis(2,8-diphenylindolizin-3-yl) disulfide is reduced to the original indolizine, and its treatment with nitric acid gives 2,8-diphenyl-1, 3-dinitroindolizine. Bis(dibenzo[b,g]indolizin-11-yl) disulfide is obtained from dibenzo[b,g]indolizine. The formation of the disulfides is apparently a general region of indolizines without substituents at C₃ or C₁ of the pyrrole ring. The structures of the disulfides obtained have been confirmed by data from x-ray diffraction analysis and NMR spectroscopy.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1371–1375, October, 1984.

The reaction of stable phosphorus ylides with elemental sulfur. Formation of olefins; cis-trans selectivity

Metal and temperature effects on thio-Wittig reactions have been studied. Stabilized phosphorus ylides, such as carbomethoxymethylenetriphenylphosphorane, reacted with sulfur to afford dimethyl maleate and dimethyl fumarate in a 1:4 ratio. As in the case of conventional Wittig reactions with semistabilized ylides, it has been shown that the stereochemistry (E:Z ratio) of alkene formation is determined at the point that a new carbon–carbon bond has been formed to give a thiaphosphetane intermediate. The temperature dependence of this reaction is also discussed.

Effect of ultraviolet irradiation on terpolymerization of sulfur dioxide with two unsaturated compounds

The terpolymerization of sulfur dioxide, butene-1 and acrylonitrile affords terpolymers containing equimolar amounts of sulfur dioxide and butene-1 with various acrylonitrile contents. Ultraviolet irradiation was found to accelerate the polymerization and decrease the acrylonitrile content in the polymer. This fact is interpreted by a mechanism through a copolymerization of sulfur dioxide–butene-1 complex and acrylonitrile, whereby the polymerizability of sulfur dioxide–butene-1 complexed monomer may be accelerated by ultraviolet light. In fact, a binary system of sulfur dioxide and butene-1 was found to be accelerated by ultraviolet irradiation, and it affords a maximum rate at a 1:1 composition of feed monomer. Ultraviolet light of 250–300 mμ wavelength is effective for the initiation and the propagation. This may be ascribed to the ultraviolet absorption of the sulfur dioxide–butene-1 complex. The temperature coefficient was measured in both dark and ultraviolet irradiation reactions. The ultraviolet irradiation enhances the reactivity of sulfur dioxide–butene-1 complexed monomer at low temperature. In the terpolymerization with sulfur dioxide, isoprene, and butadiene, the ratio of isoprene and butadiene in the terpolymer was not altered by ultraviolet irradiation because both monomers from complexes with sulfur dioxide, perhaps having the same temperature coefficient for the polymerization.

Thermal analysis of sulfurization of polyacrylonitrile with elemental sulfur

Thermal analysis of sulfurization of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) with elemental sulfur was investigated by thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis of the mixture of polyacrylonitrile and elemental sulfur up to 600°C. Due to the volatilization of sulfur, the different heating rate (10 and 20 K min⁻¹) and different mixture proportion of polyacrylonitrile and elemental sulfur were adopted to run the analysis. The different heating rates make the DSC curves of sulfur different, but make the DSC curves of PAN similar. In the DSC curve of sulfur for the heating rate of 20 K min⁻¹ around 400°C, a small exothermic peak occurs at 400°C in the wide endothermic peak around 380∼420°C, indicative of that there is an exothermic reaction around 400°C. In the DSC curves of the mixture, the peaks around 320°C are exothermic as the content of sulfur is below 3.5:1 and endothermic as the content of sulfur is over 4:1, indicating that one of the reactions between PAN and sulfur takes place around 320°C. In the TG curves of the mixture, the mass losses begin at 220°C, and sharply drop down from 280°C. The curves for the low sulfur content obviously show two steps of mass loss, and curves for the high sulfur content show only one step of mass loss, indicative of more sulfur is benefit for the complete sulfurization of PAN. This study demonstrates that the TG/DSC analysis can give the parameter for the sulfurization, even if the starting mixture contains the volatile sulfur.     

Direct synthesis of isothiocyanates from isonitriles by molybdenum-catalyzed sulfur transfer with elemental sulfur

The direct molybdenum-catalyzed sulfuration of a variety of isonitriles with elemental sulfur or propene sulfide as sulfur donors affords the corresponding isothiocyanates in good yields and under mild reaction conditions. A catalytic cycle is suggested, in which the molybdenum oxo disulfur complex operates as the active sulfur-transferring species. A novel adduct between the isonitrile and the molybdenum complex has been characterized by X-ray analysis and its association constant determined by UV-vis spectroscopy, but this adduct appears not to be involved in the sulfur-transfer process.

Characteristics of dextrin adsorption by elemental sulfur

Characteristics of dextrin adsorption by elemental sulfur were investigated by the means of diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy, total organic carbon (TOC) measurements, BET measurements as well as molecular dynamics simulation (MDS). Adsorption isotherms for dextrin adsorption by sulfur were compared to isotherms for dextrin adsorption by other hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces taken from the literature. The three-dimensional structure of dextrin was studied in detail and possible mechanisms of adsorption are discussed. Additionally, molecular dynamics simulations provided further insight into the mechanism of dextrin adsorption by elemental sulfur.
