Diphenyl sulfide is an organosulfur compound with the chemical formula (C 6 H 5)2 S , often abbreviated as Ph2S, where Ph stands for phenyl. It is a colorless liquid with an unpleasant odor. Diphenyl sulfide is an aromatic sulfide. The molecule consists of two phenyl groups attached to a sulfur atom.
Many methods exist for the preparation of diphenyl sulfide. It arises by a Friedel-Crafts-like reaction of sulfur monochloride and benzene. [4] Diphenyl sulfide and its analogues can also be produced by coupling reactions using metal catalysts. [5] It can also be prepared by reduction of diphenyl sulfone. [6]
Diphenyl sulfide is a product of the photodegradation of the fungicide edifenphos. [7]
Diphenyl sulfide is a precursor to triaryl sulfonium salts, which are used as photoinitiators. The compound can be oxidized to the sulfoxide with hydrogen peroxide. [8]
