dc.description.abstract1. A systematic study of the reduction of organic sulfur compounds by different metals in liquid ammonia is reported for the first time. 2. A metal with a high half-cell potential favors a greater extent of reduction than a lower potential metal. 3. The greater the concentration of ammonium ion as a proton donor, the greater will be the evolution of hydrogen, and the lower will be the extent of reduction. 4. A mechanism for the reduction of organic sulfur compounds by metals in ammonia is presented. 5. A new procedure for the quantitative removal and determination of hydrogen sulfide in mercaptans was developed. 6. A new synthesis for allyl mercaptan was found. 7. The formation of a resin believed to be a thiophene polymer of the formula (C₄H₄S)<sub>x</sub> is reported.en
