Abstract

Hydrogen sulfide is liberated when molten alkali thiocyanate reacts with ammonium salts or with salts of primary, secondary and tertiary aliphatic and aromatic amines. The mechanism of the topochemical reaction of ammonium salts is discussed. The reactivity of molten potassium thiocyanate permits the detection of organic bases. The application of the test in spot test analysis is described.
