Gas chromatographic characterization of sulfur-containing compounds 4. The effect of unsaturated radicals on the retention indices of the vinyl, allyl, and propargyl alkyl sulfides

Abstract

1. Retention indices have been determined for 30 vinyl, allyl, and propargyl alkyl sulfides, working with columns packed with Apiezon M, Silicone OV-17, Triton X-305, and Polyethylene glycol-1000 at 130°C. 2. Equations have been developed relating the retention indices for these sulfides with the number of carbon atoms in the n-alkyl radical chain, and with the retention indices of the analogous saturated sulfides. 3. The earlier reported analogy between the gas-chromatographic behavior of the sulfur- and oxygen-containing compounds has been shown to extend to the unsaturated sulfides and ethers of the same homologous series.
