Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and other reactive sulfur species are important small molecules with biological significance. In addition to common reactive sulfur species like H2S, polysulfides, and persulfides, both carbonyl sulfide (COS) and carbon disulfide (CS2) have been postulated to be potential sources of reduced sulfur. To better understand this possible connection, we demonstrate that H2S can be converted to COS and CS2 by reaction with simple organic carbonate and thiocarbonate electrophiles, respectively.
