Abstract
Simple urea-based chemicals have been used in the textile industry for "ironing-free clothes" for decades. One of the most used chemicals is 1,3-dimethylol-4,5-dihydroxyethyleneurea (DMDHEU), which consists of urea, glyoxal and formaldehyde. DMDHEU and related chemicals are considered safe and environmentally benign. We have therefore synthesized these compounds and studied their properties as H2S scavengers as alternatives to the "triazine" compounds used in the offshore industry today. Several derivatives are easily available, and we have evaluated their scavenging properties using Raman spectroscopy. This study reveals that this class of compounds scavenges H2S under conditions similar to the triazine-based scavengers and gives insight into the structural requirements needed.
期刊介绍：
Molecules (ISSN 1420-3049, CODEN: MOLEFW) is an open access journal of synthetic organic chemistry and natural product chemistry. All articles are peer-reviewed and published continously upon acceptance. Molecules is published by MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Our aim is to encourage chemists to publish as much as possible their experimental detail, particularly synthetic procedures and characterization information. There is no restriction on the length of the experimental section. In addition, availability of compound samples is published and considered as important information. Authors are encouraged to register or deposit their chemical samples through the non-profit international organization Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI). Molecules has been launched in 1996 to preserve and exploit molecular diversity of both, chemical information and chemical substances.
