The identification of compounds in mustard hydrolysate (U) / by P.A. D'Agostino and L.R. Provost.: DR52-5/6-1985E-PDF
"About 700 tons of World War II mustard stored at the Defence Research Establishment Suffield was destroyed by hydrolysis during the 1970's. Samples of the liquid and sludge layers of the hydrolysate were retained and have now been analysed by gas chromatography using flame ionizaton and mass spectral detection. Hydrolysis was essentially complete since only trace levels of unreacted mustard were detected. Thiodiglycol, a hydrolysis product of mustard, was the major component identified in the hydrolysate. A number of other compounds were identified (or tentatively identified) in both the liquid and sludge hydrolysate samples"--abstract.
