Looking for ethylene trithiocarbonate preparation  I found a nice title on Google "One-pot synthesis of ethylene trithiocarbonate from ethylene carbonate". This prep uses ethylene carbonate as source of ethylene oxide. The article requires some payment in  ScienceDirect.

Someone knows the details of this reaction? Its possible use EC as source of EO in others reactions?

Thank you.

I went to WIKI and could not find the compound Ethylene trithiocarbonate.
So I did a GOOGLE and found the article mentioned previously for just under $40.
But, Ethylene Trithiocarbonate seems to be esoteric enough that it is not on WIKI although it seems to be readily available at suppliers.

Ethylene trithiocarbonate   
Ethylene trithiocarbonate, 822-38-8, C3H4S3, FW 136.26 is a yellow crystalline powder.
Ethylene trithiocarbonate is 97+% pure and has a melting point 34 – 35 °C.
Ethylene trithiocarbonate is being used in cancer research.
