| Use | Diethyl disulfide is an intermediate of the fungicide ethylicin. Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis |
| production method | its preparation method is to first put sodium sulfide solution in the reaction kettle, feed into sulfur powder according to sodium sulfide: sulfur = 1: 1 (molar ratio), heat up the jacket, keep the temperature for 1h when the temperature reaches 80~95 ℃ under stirring to form disodium disulfide (Na2S2) solution, then the disodium disulfide solution is pumped into the alkylation kettle, stirring is started, the vacuum valve is closed to (2~3.3)× 104Pa in the reaction kettle, the reaction temperature is controlled at 75~90 ℃, the pressure is controlled at (1.17~1.18)× 105Pa, the feeding ratio (molar ratio) is disodium disulfide: chloroethane = 1: 2, and the chloroethane is passed, cool the material to below 50 ℃, pump the material oil to the water separator to stand and delaminate, and the upper oil layer is the finished product. 2C2H5Cl Na2S S→C2H2-S-S-C2H5 2NaCl |
