disulfide was examined for purity chroma to graphically and was observed to be 95 to 99% pure. At the same time, it was evident that peak 20 was not being produced in the instrument from the disulfide because none was present in these purity runs. It is suspected that the diallyl disulfide disproportionates to a small extent upon standing, since both the trisulfide and monosulfide were observed in approximately equimolar quantities in the standard.The purified diallyl disulfide was used for the previously mentioned trisulfide synthesis, and the main peak observed after this reaction compared with peak 20 in both retention time and value.
