Abstract

A method is described for the synthesis of the mustard-type vesicants, benzyl ß-chloroethyl sulfide (benzyl-H) and n-butyl ß-chloroethyl sulfide (butyl-H), containing radiosulfur. Studies were made of the reaction of these radioactive vesicants with three highly purified proteins: insulin, pepsin and tobacco mosaic virus. © 1948, American Chemical Society.
