12. 2, hexane) containing the sulfur compounds (thiols, thioketones, ...). Higher yields were obtained with longer reaction times and with aldehydes. Similar experiments were performed in water : typically 10-25μmol of ketone and 1ml of a 0.1 SM sulfuric acid solution were placed in a glass ampula and purged with argon. The suspension was frozen at -78°C and 45mg (0.18mmol) of solid sodium sulfide were added. After sealing under vacuum at -20°C the ampula was heated at 100°C for a period of time extending from one week to several months after which the aqueous phase was extracted with hexane and chromatographed on silica gel prior to GC-MS analysis.
