Sulfur results

In addition to combined hydrogen and oxygen, carbon blacks may contain as much as 1.2% combined sulfur resulting from the sulfur content of the aromatic feedstock that contains thiophenes, mercaptans, and sulfides. The combined sulfur appears to be inert and does not contribute to sulfur cross-linking during the vulcanization of mbber compounds. 

For nonhydrotreated feed, the gasoline sulfur level is about 10% of the feed sulfur level. For hydrotreated feed, it is about 5%. For example, if the sulfur content of a nonhydrotreated feed is 1.0 r (10,000 ppm), the sulfur in FCC gasoline will be 1,000 ppm. Assuming 80% desulfurization, feed to the FCC unit will contain 0.2% (2000 ppm) sulfur, resulting in FCC gasoline containing 100 ppm sulfur. Sulfur compounds that survive the hydrotreater are in the heav fraction and tend to end up in the LCO, decanted oil, and coke. 

Oxidation of dietary sulfur results in a rather striking effect upon the output of urinary acid and hypercalciuria. Zemel, et al. 

Trimethylbutene (Triptene). The polymerization of trimethyl-butene is of interest because rearrangement of the olefin, unless of a very radical nature, can give only the starting material. It was found (Cook et al., 41) that polymerization in the presence of 75% sulfuric resulted in a 91% yield of polymer, 70% of which was 2,2,3,5,5,6,6-heptamethyl-3-heptene. The minor products of the reaction consisted of 3.1% of unreacted triptene, 0.9% of 8- to 10-carbon atom olefins, 3.0% of 10-carbon atom olefins, 9.0% of 11- to 14-carbon atom olefins and 12.0% of residue. The formation of the heptamethylheptene is to be expected on the basis of the carbonium ion mechanism ... 

Metallation of 3,4-dimethyl-l,2,5-thiadiazole (55) to the anion (56) was accomplished with the use of a nonnucleophilic base, lithium diisopropylamide <82JHC1247>. Nucleophilic attack at sulfur resulted in an alkyllithium reagent <70CJC2006>. The lithiomethyl derivative (56) was carboxylated to (57) with carbon dioxide and converted to the vinyl derivative (58) via an esterification, reduction, mesylation, and base elimination sequence (Scheme 12). 

The addition of sulfur results in the formation of black lead sulfide ... 

Passage of the mercurial through the vapor of boiling sulfur results in its conversion to hexafluorothioacetone in 60% yield (56). 

On the supply side, sulfur production is now controlled more by the demand for energy through the desulfurization of fuels than by the demand for sulfur per se, and this tendency is increasing. In 1965 involuntary byproduct recovered sulfur amounted to less than 20% of total elemental sulfur production in the United States and Canada, but by 1980 over 60% of all elemental sulfur resulted from refinery and natural gas processing operations. Many future hydrocarbon energy sources (coal, deep gas, heavy oil, shale, etc.) contain considerably more sulfur compared with conventional hydrocarbon fuels, and thus their exploitation will add to the ever increasing supply of by-product sulfur. 

A polyacetylene coating applied on sulfur does not negatively influence its activity and speed as curing agent, but it can increase the scorch time. This effect is probably due to a delayed release of the sulfur out of the polymeric shell. In the SBR/EPDM blend, on the other hand, the plasma-treated sulfur results in higher torque values, an indication that the distribution of the plasma-treated sulfur over the different rubber phases is more homogenous, which is the main effect aimed for in the context of this study.

The first successful Diels-Alder addition of thiophene appears to have been with tetrafluorobenzyne (66CC143). The adduct apparently loses sulfur, resulting in the isolation of the tetrafluoronaphthalene in 40% yield (Scheme 78). Other thiophene derivatives (69T25) and fluorinated benzynes <71JCS(C)604) have been similarly reacted. Subsequently it was found (80H 14)647) that unsubstituted benzyne, generated from diphenyliodonium-2-carboxylate, could be trapped with thiophene to form naphthalene in 33% yield. The earlier failure to add thiophene to benzyne generated by other methods must have been due to intervention of side reactions. Thiophyne also has been similarly trapped to yield benzo[A]thiophene (see Section 3.14.2.2). 

In a hydrogen-rich flame, combustion of samples containing phosphorus and/or sulfur results in the formation of chemiluminescent species which emit light characteristic of the heteroatom introduced into the flame. Selection of an interference filter with a 394- or 526-nm bandpass allows selectivities for sulfur and phosphorus respectively. Recent work by Krost and co-workers (27) found that a 690-nm filter showed selectivity for some nitrogen-containing compounds. 

The steric bulk of the thioamide sulfur results in conformational changes that have been documented in cyclopentapeptide and cyclohexapeptide model systems (for more details see Vol. E22b, Section 6.8.5.2.1). For example, in c[-Proi(>[C(=S)-NH]Gly-Pro-Gly-D-Phe-], the first synthetic cyclic thiopeptide, an intramolecular y-turn seen in the all-amide parent compound by NMR methods was perturbed by the putative interaction of sulfur with the adjacent Pro s (3-protons.[9 On the other hand, in a cyclic hexapeptide, the enhanced H-bond donor capacity of the thioamide NH led to the formation of a relatively strong intramolecular H-bond stabilized (3-turn, which was frame shifted compared to that found in its all-amide parent peptide. 10 ... 

Imidazole also acts as a substrate-competitive inhibitor, forming both binary complexes with LADH, and ternary complexes in the presence of coenzyme. X-Ray studies show that imidazole also binds to the. catalytic zinc by displacing the water molecule.1361 The presence of imidazole at the active site also enhances the rate of carboxymethylation14658 of Cys-46 with both iodoacetate and iodoacetamide.1420 This enhancement of alkylation has become known as the promotion effect .1421 Imidazole promotion also improves the specificity of the alkylation.1422 Since Cys-46 is thought to be alkylated as a metal-thiol complex, imidazole, on binding the active site metal, could enhance the reactivity by donating a electrons to the metal atom, which distributes the increased electron density further to the other ligands in the coordination sphere. The increased nucleophilicity of the sulfur results in promoted alkylation.1409... 

The previously available methods for the preparation of such compounds were somewhat limited in their application. First, the oxidative coupling of 2 molecules of a heterocyclic-substituted toluene derivative in lie presence of sulfur results in the formation of symmetrical stil-benes,4,5 as shown by the synthesis of 4,4 -bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)stilbene (2). The disadvantages of this method are the high reaction temperatures necessary and the difficulties often involved in product workup. 

Hydroxy- and Alkoxysulfonium Ions. In addition to the well-documented formation of the S02-SbFs complex in a mixture of the two components,227 Minkwitz and co-workers228 have recently detected the formation of the fluorodihydroxysulfonium cation 83 [Eq. (4.61)]. Crystal structure analysis of the isolated salt showed bond distances typical of S—O single bonds (1.537 and 1.522 A) and S—F single bonds (1.547 A). The steric demand of the lone electron pair of sulfur results in the compression of bond angles from the ideal tetrahedral arrangement... 

It is interesting that the loss of sulfur does not correspond to a steady decrease in activity. It is well possible that the leaching of sulfur results in a structure resembling that of Raney Ni. The kinetic pattern is in fact the same. Some remedies have been proposed to slow down such a weight loss. For instance, it has been shown [151] that a small addition of MoS2 co-deposited with NiSx in a Ni matrix can apparently alleviate the problem. 

Sulfur isotopic measurements can shed light on the origin of sulfur in coal. The 34S/32S ratio depends on the source of sulfur and the geologic processes involved during coal formation. For example, isotopic compositions are different for the two principal sources of sulfur in coal 1) the sulfur preserved from the precursor plant material, and 2) the sulfur derived from the bacterial reduction of dissolved sulfate in ambient waters. Plant assimilation of sulfur results in a slight depletion of 34S (4-4.5%c) relative to the 834S in the dissolved sulfate source (102.103). In contrast, the dissimilatory bacterial reduction of sulfate results in a large isotopic fractionation sulfide sulfur can be depleted as much as 60%o in the heavy isotope (89.104-106). 

Contrasting the actions of sulfur and hydrogen sulfide on ketones is an instructive conclusion to this section. While sulfur results in the formation of various heterocycles as noted above, hydrogen sulfide in the presence of amines or ammonia at room temperature yields geminal dithiols or thioketones as exemplified in the report of Mayer and co-workers (15).
