Thiodiglycol

One particularly toxic gas was a colorless, blistering liquid produced by reacting the solvent thiodiglycol a dye intermediate with boiling hydrochloric acid. ❋ Siddhartha Mukherjee (2010)

For example, Alcolac International, a Maryland company, transported thiodiglycol, a mustard gas precursor, to Iraq. ❋ Unknown (2003)

The laboratory quantity of thiodiglycol, a mustard gas precursor, which we found at another site, has also been destroyed. ❋ Unknown (2003)

The laboratory quantity of thiodiglycol, a mustard gas as precursor has also been destroyed. ❋ Unknown (2003)

The thiodiglycol was forwarded to two other factories, one of which was Leverkusen, where 300 tons of mustard gas were produced monthly. ❋ Unknown (1921)

The thiodiglycol was produced at Ludwigshafen and provides one of the best examples of the adaptation of the German dye works for the purpose of producing war chemical. ❋ Unknown (1921)

The last step, the production of thiodiglycol, occurred in the causticising house, to which no substantial alterations or additions appear to have been made for the purpose. ❋ Unknown (1921)

The reaction between thiodiglycol and hydrochloric acid was one which required very considerable care. ❋ Unknown (1921)

The complaint alleges that during the 1980s, Alcolac's predecessor company shipped more than 300 tons of thiodiglycol to Iraq through a Jordanian intermediary, Nu Kraft Mercantile Corp. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The United States had said the ship, the Yinhe, had sailed from a Chinese port with an illicit cargo of thiodiglycol, a mustard gas base, and thionyl chloride, used in nerve gas. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Alcolac pleaded guilty in 1989 to federal charges of knowingly violating export laws by shipping thiodiglycol, a mustard-gas ingredient that ultimately went to Iran. ❋ Unknown (2009)

For instance, Alcolac International, a U.S. company then based in Baltimore, Maryland, pleaded guilty to illicit sales of the mustard-gas precursor thiodiglycol to Iraq during the ❋ Unknown (2009)
