Translation of a chemical product (just one word)
Thread Content
I would like to ask experts: what chemical product is epichloromethylthiirane?
Some people translate it as epichlorohydrin; I’m not sure if that’s correct. Please advise
Epichlorohydrin is epichloropropylene; therefore your term is not epichloropropylene. Chloromethylthiirane can be translated as “cyclothiochloropropylene”, but the prefix ‘epi’ is not entirely clear. This word is very rare and not like common terms in the chemical industry
Epichlorohydrin is actually epichloropropylene; the term chloromethylthiirane can be translated as “cyclothiochloropropylene,” but due to the prefix ‘epi,’ it is likely that the entire term should still be understood as cyclothiochloropropylene.
A friend’s translation is: epichloromethylthiirance as epichloromethylthiazirane； Epichloromethylthiazirine ； Chloromethyl cyclothiethane ； CH2-CH-CH2-Cl |_S_| epi-: table; chloro-: chlorinated, chlorine (group)-, Cl-; methyl: methyl, CH3-; thiirance: thio-cyclopropane; thio-cyclopropane, cyclothioethane; ethylene sulfide ======================================== Thio-cyclopropane; thio-cyclopropane, cyclothioethane; thiirane; ethylene sulfide: Properties: Also known as thio-cyclopropane or cyclothioethane. Colorless liquid. Boiling point 55–56°C (decomposition). Refractive index 1.4914. Relative density 1.0113. Insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents such as acetone and chloroform. Ring-opening polymerization occurs easily in the presence of acids and bases. Ring-opening addition reactions with thiol (RSH) and ethanol (C2H5OH) yield ethylenedithiols monooxides (HSCH2CH2SR) and β-mercaptoethers (HSCH2CH2OC2H5), respectively. It can be prepared by reacting ethylene oxide with thioamides. Used as a reagent in organic synthesis. ------------------------------------------ Thiirane – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia – // Thiirane, more commonly known as ethylene sulfide, is the cyclic chemical compound with the formula C2H4S. It is the smallest sulfur-containing heterocycle. ... =========================================== Vibrational Circular Dichroism of Methylthiirane – Author: H Dothe – 1988: // The vibrational circular dichroism spectra of (R)-methylthiirane were calculated using Stephens’ method...
