Introduction
Methyl furfuryl disulfide (also known as methyl ethyl sulfide, methyl ethyl sulfide) is an organosulfur compound. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of methylfurfuryldisulfide:
Quality:
Methylfurfuryl disulfide is a colorless to yellowish liquid with a pungent odor. It is unstable at room temperature and easily decomposes to sulfur oxides and other sulfur compounds. It can be dissolved in organic solvents, such as alcohols and ethers, and is rarely soluble in water.
Use:
Methyl furfuryl disulfide has several uses in the chemical industry. It can also be used as a raw material for dyes and pigments, as well as as as a synthetic intermediate for some pesticides.
Method:
Methyl furfuryl disulfide can be prepared by the oxidation reaction of ethylthiosecondary alcohol (CH3CH2SH). This reaction is generally catalyzed in the presence of an oxidizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide or persulfate.
Safety Information:
Methylfurfuryl disulfide is irritating and may have an irritating effect on the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, should be worn when in use. Given its flammability, it should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from ignition and oxidants. In case of accidental ingestion or contact, seek medical attention immediately.
