I'm going to be synthesizing acetic anhydride using the S₂Cl₂ method.

I was curious if anyone here has worked at all with S₂Cl₂. I never have, and I'm having trouble researching how it behaves. Are there any big safety issues? Anything would be helpful because all I know is how to prepare it, and that it's a liquid. 

Most importantly...what is it's bp?

If you have problems finding the BP I doubt the compound is safe for you.

I agree with Borek, but I am also curious why anyone would synthesize a compound that is so easily purchased.

" 5 ppm (SULFUR MONOCHLORIDE) is immediately dangerous to life or health" (from the first MSDS I fell over).

[Borek]

Thats enough info for this case.
