The gaseous exchange accompanying decomposition of dithiocarbamate fungicides was measured in the Warburg manometer. Sodium diethyl dithiocarbamate decomposed under slightly acid conditions, producing carbon disulphide and a salt of diethylamine. The insoluble zinc and iron salts of dimethyl dithiocarbamic acid also decomposed in a similar fashion, but no carbon disulphide was given off from the more stable copper salt of this compound. The rate of decomposition of these metallic salts fell in the following decreasing order:[Formula: see text]Disodium ethylene bis-dithiocarbamate (nabam) decomposed under slightly acid conditions to produce approximately equal volumes of hydrogen sulphide and carbon disulphide, and presumably left a residue of ethylene thiourea. In distilled water, on the other hand, nabam underwent a slow basic hydrolysis and oxidation, with absorption of approximately two volumes of oxygen, and evolution of one volume of carbon disulphide. Apparently the sulphur fraction which is evolved as hydrogen sulphide from nabam under acid conditions is, under basic conditions, oxidized in solution by atmospheric oxygen to sulphate.

The thermal decomposition of dimethyl disulphide has been studied in the gaseous state by a static method. The primary reaction, which follows a reproducible induction period, produces one mole of methyl mercaptan per mole of disulphide, together with a product of low volatility believed to be a thioformaldehyde polymer:[Formula: see text]There is also a competing reaction producing a large quantity of hydrogen sulphide. The remaining volatile products, hydrocarbons of two or more carbon atoms (believed to be chiefly ethylene), free sulphur, polysulphides, and carbon disulphide are formed either by the latter reaction or by the extensive decomposition of products. The decomposition is catalyzed by hydrogen sulphide, and more strongly by the complete reaction mixture. A mechanism is proposed for the main reaction.

A series of 1-(3-benzyl-4-oxo-3H-quinazolin-2-yl)-4-(substituted) thiosemicarbazides (AS1-AS10) were obtained by the reaction of 2-hydrazino- 3-benzyl quinazolin-4(3H)-one (6) with different dithiocarbamic acid methyl ester derivatives. The key intermediate 3-benzyl-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1Hquinazolin-4-one (4) was obtained by reacting benzyl amine (1) with carbon disulphide and sodium hydroxide in dimethyl sulphoxide to give sodium dithiocarbamate, which was methylated with dimethyl sulfate to yield the dithiocarbamic acid methyl ester (2) and condensed with methyl anthranilate (3) in ethanol yielded the desired compound (4) via the thiourea intermediate. The SH group of compound (4) was methylated for the favorable nucleophilic displacement reaction with hydrazine hydrate, which afford 2-hydrazino-3- benzyl-3H-quinazolin-4-one (6). The IR, 1H, and 13C NMR spectrum of these compounds showed the presence of peaks due to thiosemicarbazides, carbonyl (C=O), NH and aryl groups. The quinazolin-4-one moiety molecular ion peaks (m/z 144) were observed all the mass spectrum of compounds (AS1-AS10). Elemental (C, H, N) analysis satisfactorily confirmed purity of the synthesized compounds and elemental composition. All synthesized compounds were also screened for their antimicrobial activity against selective gram positive and gram negative by agar dilution method. In the present study compounds AS8 and AS9 were emerged as the most active compounds of the series.

The decomposition of ethyl mercaptan to ethylene and hydrogen sulphide was studied at various temperatures, with and without a catalyst. Metal sulphides (copper, nickel, and cadmium) proved to be the most efficient catalysts for cracking ethyl mercaptan into unsaturated end products, the optimum temperature being 500–600 °C. When no catalyst was used a 40–50% yield of ethylene and a nearly quantitative conversion to hydrogen sulphide was observed between 600 and 700 °C. Other products identified in the exit gas were carbon disulphide, carbonyl sulphide, methane, hydrogen, ethane, thiophene, diethyl sulphide, and free sulphur. Identification of these products was aided by infrared and mass spectral analysis of the gas. A tentative mechanism for the reaction justifying the presence of the above by-products is outlined.

The destruction of either hydrogen sulphide or carbon disulphide by active nitrogen appears to be minimal at some temperature in the range 200–250 °C. Both reactions yield large amounts of polymer.It is postulated that the main reactions involve destruction of the reactant as it acts as a third body for recombination of nitrogen atoms. As the temperature is increased, dissociation of the nitrogen atom – reactant complex apparently increases. To account for the observed temperature effects, it is assumed that reactions also occur to regenerate reactant.
