Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The pyrolytic transformations of dimethyl sulfide were studied in a flow system at 500–600°C. The liquid products of the pyrolysis of this compound are vinylthiol and thiophene. The yields and ratio of these products are determined by the temperature, ratio, and contact time of the starting reagents.

  2. 2.

    Thiirane undergoes greater pyrolytic conversion at 500°C than dimethyl sulfide and, in addition to vinylthiol and thiophene, forms benzothiophene.
