| Title | Paper, 'On a new series of sulphuretted [sulphuric] acids' by August Kekulé |
| Date | 1854 |
| Description | Kekulé writes that 'adopting the idea that the series of organic compounds of which sulphuretted hydrogen is the type, corresponds in every respect with the series of which water is the type, that not only mercaptans and neutral sulphides which correspond to the alcohols and ethers, but also compounds corresponding to the acids, anhydrous acids and ethers of acids might be produced'. He aims to obtain reactions which would enable him to replace oxygen in the compounds of the latter series by sulphur, and describes his attempts.
