Introduction
Dimethyl sulfide (also known as dimethyl sulfide) is an inorganic sulfur compound. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of dimethyl sulfide:
Quality:
- Appearance: Colorless liquid with a strong special odor.
- Solubility: miscible with ethanol, ethers, and many organic solvents.
Use:
- Industrial applications: Dimethyl sulfide is widely used as a solvent in organic synthesis reactions, especially in sulfidation and thioaddition reactions.
Method:
- Dimethyl sulfide can be prepared by the direct reaction of ethanol and sulfur. The reaction usually takes place under acidic conditions and requires heating.
- It can also be prepared by adding sodium sulfide to two methyl bromides (e.g. methyl bromide).
Safety Information:
- Dimethyl sulfide has a pungent odor and has an irritating effect on the skin and eyes.
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes and take appropriate precautions when using.
- During use and storage, contact with oxidants and strong acids should be avoided to avoid unsafe reactions.
- Waste should be disposed of in accordance with local laws and regulations and should not be dumped.
- Maintain proper ventilation during storage and use.
