CAS 624-92-0: Dimethyl disulfide

Dimethyl disulfide is a colorless liquid that is soluble in water. It has many uses, including wastewater treatment and the production of other chemicals. Dimethyl disulfide has been shown to react with sulfide ions to form dimethyl sulfide in a reaction solution. This reaction may be used as an analytical method for the determination of sulfides in water samples. Dimethyl disulfide also reacts with the disulfide bond present in proteins and nuclei to produce dimers, which can be detected by electron microscopy or multivariate logistic regression analysis.

Dimethyl disulfide is used as an intermediate as well as a food additive in onion, garlic, cheese, meats, soups, savory flavors and fruit flavors. It is used in oil refineries as a sulfiding agent. It is used to alfa substitute 2-methylfuran-acrolein to produce food stuff. It is involved in the preparation of 4-(methylthio)phenol. Further, it is used to replace methyl mercaptan as a jet fuel additive. It finds application in artificial flavoring agent and a corrosion inhibitor. In addition to this, it serves as an effective soil fumigant in agriculture. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.
