Thiophene is a heterocyclic compound with the formula C4H4S. It is the sulfur analogue of furan.
Contents
Properties
Chemical
Oxidation of thiophene with trifluoroperacetic acid gives thiophene S-oxide.
Desulfurization of thiophene with Raney nickel yields butane.
Physical
Thiophene is a colorless liquid, with an odor similar to benzene. Older samples appear darker in color.
Availability
Thiophene is sold by lab suppliers.
Preparation
Can be prepared by reacting diacetylene with sodium sulfide, with KOH, using DMSO as solvent.[1]
Projects
- Make thiophene S-oxide
Handling
Safety
Thiophene is harmful and irritant if inhaled. It is flammable, and combustion will yield sulfur dioxide which is a strong irritant.
Storage
In closed bottles, in dark, away from light.
Disposal
Should be burned in a special incinerator or neutralized with Fenton's reagent.
