InChIKey = RMVRSNDYEFQCLF-UHFFFAOYSA-N

(precursor of the thiophenoxy radical, which adds to alkenes and alkynes, initiating cyclizations; cis/trans alkene isomerization; synthesis of vinyl sulfides, alkyllithiums, pyridines; transacetalization; Michael addition)

Physical Data: mp −15 °C; bp 169 °C, 46.4 °C/4 mmHg; n20 1.5893; d20 1.0766 g cm−3.

Solubility: sol alcohol, ether, benzene, methylene chloride.

Form Supplied in: liquid; commercially available.

Handling, Storage, and Precautions: handle under an inert atmosphere as oxygen causes oxidation to the disulfide. This may accelerated in the presence of base. Stench reminiscent of garlic. Very toxic. Handle only in an efficient fume hood.
