CH22S

CH22S is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C2H2S2. It is a member of the thioketone family, which are compounds containing a carbonyl group (C=O) adjacent to a sulfur atom (S). CH22S is a colorless liquid at room temperature, with a boiling point of 104 degrees Celsius and a melting point of -10 degrees Celsius. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but insoluble in water.

The compound is typically prepared through the reaction of acetaldehyde with sulfur in the presence of a catalyst. CH22S is used as a precursor in the synthesis of various organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It is also used as a reagent in organic chemistry for the synthesis of thioketones and other sulfur-containing compounds.

CH22S is a relatively stable compound, but it can undergo oxidation and hydrolysis under certain conditions. It is important to handle CH22S with care, as it can cause skin and eye irritation. Proper personal protective equipment should be worn when handling the compound, and it should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources and incompatible substances.
