“…Owing to the presence of oxidizable bivalent sulfur, the oxidation of HD using organic chloramines is a promising method of decontamination. − Oxidation reactions render the compound harmless to biological systems. Various agents − have been used for decontamination of HD including hypochlorite, , sodium, enzyme-based micro emulsion, , zeolites, iodobenzoic acid complex, nanosize calcium oxide, titania nanotubes, peroxides, and alumina-supported fluoride reagents . We previously reported the use of N,N- dichlorourethane, for the decontamination of O,S- diethyl methylphosphonothiolate , (OSDEMP), a simulant of VX.…”

An efficient and operationally simple method for chemical decontamination of sulfur mustard (HD) has been reported herein. A chlorine-bearing reagent N,N-dichlorourethane was developed to deactivate HD in aqueous (acetonitrile/water, 80/20) medium. This decontamination reaction was monitored by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. This reagent is highly efficient, stable, economical, and easy to synthesize and leads to instant decontamination of HD. The reaction was found to instantaneously and completely convert HD to innocent products at different temperatures (−20 to 40 °C).

“…Owing to the presence of oxidizable bivalent sulfur, a variety of oxidative routes (viz. hydrothermal oxidation, electrochemical oxidation; oxidation using organic chloramines, sodium hypochlorite, enzyme based micro emulsions, , zeolites, iodobenzoic acid complex, titania nanotubes, peroxides) have been tried for decontamination of HD. Most of these reagents require prolonged reaction time, , they are difficult to synthesize , and/or make use of hazardous solvents and aggressive reaction conditions.…”

An efficient and operationally simple method for the chemical decontamination of sulfur mustard (HD) has been reported herein. A newly synthesized (positive chlorine bearing) reagent N,N-dichlorovaleramide has been utilized for this purpose. Decontamination has been achieved in aqueous and aprotic media. The reaction was monitored by gas chromatography−mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. This reagent is more effective, stable, economical, and easy to synthesize and leads to instant decontamination of HD. The reaction was found to instantaneously and completely convert HD to innocuous products at different temperatures (−10 to 25 °C).
