CAS 999-72-4: 3,3'-Dithio-bis(N-methylpropionamide)

Applications N,N’-Dimethyl-3,3’-dithiopropionamide is used in the preparation of amino-substituted isothiazole derivatives. References Clerici, F. et al.: Tetra. 59, 9399 (2003);

N,N'-Dimethyl-3,3'-dithiodipropionamide (DTDPA) is a strong oxidizing agent that is used as a catalyst in organic synthesis. It can be used to convert xylene and benzene into products that are less toxic and more easily removed from the environment. DTDPA can also be used to remove 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, chloroform, and other pollutants from water. DTDPA has been shown to react with hydrogen peroxide or hydrochloric acid to produce oxygen gas and chlorine, which is an effective disinfectant against bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus or Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This chemical also reacts with toluene or chloroform to produce peroxides which have been shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect on cells.
