General description

2-Chloroethyl phenyl sulfide has been reported as sulfur mustard simulant. It is a chemical-warfare agent (CWA) simulant and its oxidation using hydrothane films has been reported. It is also reported as a simulant for the chemical warfare agent mustard [bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide]. Its reaction with vesicular functionalized double-chain surfactant (potassium O, O′-didodecylphosphorodithioate) at pH 9.0 borate buffer affords [S-[(2-phenylthio)ethyl]O,O′-didodecylphosphorodithioate]. Its oxidation with H2O2 catalyzed by [MnL](ClO4)2 (L = N,N′,N″-tris(2-hydroxypropyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) afforded 2-chloroethyl phenyl sulfone and phenyl vinyl sulfone.

Application

2-Chloroethyl phenyl sulfide, a sulfur mustard agent stimulant, may be used as target analyte in a bioassay for the detection of mustard agent.

In this work a novel bioassay for mustard agent detection was proposed. The bioassay is based on the capability of these compounds to inhibit the enzyme choline oxidase. The enzymatic activity, which is correlated to the mustard agents, was electrochemically

Using reactive singlet oxygen (1O2), the oxidation of chemical-warfare agent (CWA) simulants has been demonstrated. The zinc octaphenoxyphthalocyanine (ZnOPPc) complex was demonstrated to be an efficient photosensitizer for converting molecular oxygen (O2) to 1O2 using broad-spectrum light (450-800 nm) from
