colorless transparent liquid, with special odor. Freezing point <100 °c. Boiling point 157~158 degrees C (micro decomposition), flash point 73 degrees C, relative density of 1.1143. Refractive index 4996. Soluble in water, ethanol and ether and other organic solvents, and benzene can be miscible in any proportion. Viscosity (20 deg C) 3.43mPa.s.
obtained by the reaction of chloroethanol with sodium hydrosulfide. It can also be synthesized from the reaction of hydrogen sulfide with ethylene oxide. The catalyst used in the reaction was a 717 strongly basic anion exchange resin. The molar ratio of ethylene oxide to hydrogen sulfide was 1:3.5, the reaction temperature was (42±1) ° C., and the exhaust gas negative pressure was (13 33±667) Pa. The content of crude product is about 52%. The yield of pure product is about 55%. Excess hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into sodium hydrosulfide with alkali for reuse of hydrogen sulfide.
organic synthesis intermediates, used in the synthesis of pesticides, pharmaceuticals and dyes, etc.; In rubber, textile, plastic, coating industry can also be used as additives.
