Conclusions
The main products of the gas-phase pyrolysis (580–600°) of divinyl sulfone are SO2, acetylene, and ethylene; butadiene, benzene, toluene, isomeric xylenes, styrene, and benzothiophene are also formed in smaller amounts. In an H2S atmosphere the pyrolysis of divinyl sulfone is apparently accompanied by a partial reduction of the latter to divinyl sulfoxide.
