Abstract

The first recorded reference to divinyl ether occurs in a paper by Semmlerl “On the Ethereal Oil of Allium Ursinum L.” The divinyl sulfide, which was obtained from the essential oil of this plant, when treated with silver oxide yielded a low-boiling, sulfur-free liquid, the boiling point of which was about 39'. Two determinations of the molecular weight corresponded with the calculated value for divinyl ether. Semmler did not further characterize this liquid.
