BENZO(B)NAPHTHO(2,1-D)THIOPHENE

1,2-Benzodiphenylene sulfide has been used in direct screening of sediment samples for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by flow manifold coupled on-line to a fluorimetric detector.

ChEBI: Benzo[b]naphtho[2,1-d]thiophene is an organosulfur heterocyclic compound and an organic heterotricyclic compound.

1,2-benzodiphenylene sulfide is a rare constituent of coal tar. Photodeoxygenation of 1,2-benzodiphenylene sulfoxide, generates an intermediate capable of oxidizing the solvent benzene to phenol. Liquid-phase photolysis of 1,2-benzodiphenylene sulfide to generate atomic oxygen [O(³P)] or an equivalent active oxygen species has been reported.
