Ueber die Einwirkung des braunen Chlorschwefels auf Elaylgas

Acute effects of sulfur mustard injury—Munich experiences

“…Although synthesised already 1822 by Despretz and 1860 by Niemann and Guthrie (Guthrie, 1860;Niemann, 1860), German chemists investigated the military use of the compound during WWI. Thus, the substance was named "Lost" as an acronym of chemists Lommel and Steinkopf, which were the prinicipal investigators at this time.…”

Mustard Carbonate Analogues as Sustainable Reagents for the Aminoalkylation of Phenols

“…Nitrogen and sulfur mustards (Figure 1; 1 – 4 ), also called yperites, occupy a peculiar place in chemistry history; from battlefields to the first cancer treatment, their story covers almost 200 years. Bis(2‐chloroethyl)sulfide 1 , discovered in 1822, [1] was described as a malodorous, high boiling compound able to aggressively attack the hydrated parts of the body, like eyes and lungs, leading, in case of prolonged exposure, to death [2–3] …”

Mustard Gas: Its Pre-World War I History

“…This work, for which he is well-known and which was submitted as his doctoral thesis, was described in the Journal of Pharmacy in 1861, the same year he died (13). Less well-known is an article by Niemann that appeared in 1860 in Annalen der Chemie und Pharmazie titled, "Ueber die Einwirkung des braunen Chlorschwefels auf Elaygas" (About the effect of brown chlorosulfide on ethylene gas) (14). In this article, Niemann, following the work of Despretz (attributing to Depretz the observation that sulfur chloride, SCl 2 , is converted by ethylene into an "evil-smelling .…”
