Thiophosgene

• There are two reactive ccl bonds that allow Thiophosgene to be used in diverse organic compounds.
• CSCl2 is prepared in a two-step process from carbon disulfide. In the first step, carbon disulfide is chlorinated to give trichloromethanesulfenyl chloride, CCl3SCl:
• CS2 + 3 Cl2 CCl3SCl + S2Cl2
• The chlorination must be controlled as excess chlorine converts trichloromethanesulfenyl chloride into carbon tetrachloride.
• It is a molecule with trigonal planar geometry and a red liquid with the formula CSCl2.
• Reduction of trichloromethanesulfenyl chloride produces thiophosgene : CCl3SCl + M CSCl2 + MCl2
• Steam distillation separates the trichloromethanesulfenyl chloride, a rare sulfenyl chloride, and hydrolyzes the sulfur monochloride.
