Dibromodiethyl sulfide is a chemical like mustard gas in which bromine replaces chlorine. It is very irritating as a vapour.[1]
Production
Dibromodiethyl sulfide can be produced by the reaction of bromine with thiodiglycol.[1]
Properties
Dibromodiethyl sulfide takes the form of white crystals. The melting point is between 31 and 34°C. It decomposes when heated to 240°C.[1]
The fungus Tyromyces palustris can split the molecule at the sulfur.[2]
