Ethylene sulfide is generally used in the preparation of organosulfur compounds, especially for mercaptoethylation of primary and secondary amines to obtain aminothiols.[1][2]
It is used in the synthesis of dendritic thioether ligands to stabilize gold nanoparticles (Au NPs).[3]
Chitosan can be chemically modified by treating ethylene sulfide to obtain a biopolymer for the removal of divalent cations from aqueous solutions.[4]
Ethylene sulfide was used in the chemical modificatoion of biopolymer chitosan[5].

The biopolymer chitosan was chemically modified in two sequences of reactions: (i) immobilization of methyl acrylate followed by cysteamine and (ii) the sequence of immobilization reactions involving ethylene sulfide, methyl acrylate and finally cysteamine. In both cases the pendant chains

We have investigated the photofragmentation properties of the three-membered ring heterocyclic molecule ethylene sulfide or thiirane, C(2)H(4)S, by time-of-flight mass spectroscopy. Positive ions have been collected as a function of photon energy around the S K ionization threshold. Branching ratios
