Abstract

Dithiaalkanediols are important intermediates for the synthesis and degradation of the chemical warfare agents (CWA), such as sesquimustard (4)'~~ and sulfur mustard (HD). 2* 3 the strong organic sulfur vesicants. They also serve as potential biomarkers as well as suitable models for verifying the use of sulfur vesicants either in war or by any terrorist group. Dithiaalkanediols are also potentially versatile intermediates for the synthesis of diesters ...
