Reaction of methanethiol with species produced in a microwave discharge through water vapor

Abstract
The products of reaction of methanethiol with species produced by passage of water vapor through a microwave discharge were studied. Mass spectrometric analysis demonstrated the presence of SO2. CH3SSCH3, CH3SSSCH3, CH3SSSSCH3, CH3SSCH2SCH3, CH3SCH2SCH3, and S8. These products are consistent with a mechanism involving abstraction of hydrogen from CH3SH by OH and other radicals as the important primary process.
