Vesicant Studies. I. Spectrophotometric Determination of N-Butyl 2-Chloroethyl Sulfide, an Analog of Mustard Gas.

Abstract

A spectrophotometric method for the quantitation of n-butyl 2-chloroethyl sulfide (BCS) has been developed using thymolphtalein as the chromogen. The chromophore produced by the reactants has a maximum absorbance at 444 millimicrons and absorbance is linear up to .000001 M BCS. This assay can provide quantitative measurements of the monofunctional mustard down to .000003 M.
