Application | dimethyl sulfide is the simplest thioether compound. The structure and properties are similar to those of dimethyl ether. It is a colorless volatile liquid at room temperature. A substance with a special odor like seafood. In nature, it is often produced by the decomposition of proteins. This is also one of the sources of the smell of seafood. Can be used as a second step in organic synthesis, such as ozonation, for the reduction of the secondary ozone oxide 1,2, 4-trioxopentanone, to completely convert olefins to aldehydes or ketones, can also be used as a polymerization solvent, can also be used for the production of pesticides, methyl thiamine and dimethyl sulfoxide, and as Analytical reagents and gas odor, paint stripping. used in the preparation of dimethyl sulfoxide and as a pesticide intermediate or solvent GB 2760-96 is defined as an allowable flavor. Mainly used in the preparation of corn, tomato, potato, dairy products, pineapple and orange fruit flavor and cyan flavor. This product is a solvent, is the production of dimethyl sulfoxide, methionine and pesticide intermediates. It can be used as a solvent for organic synthesis, polymerization and cyanation. Used as analytical reagents, polyacrylonitrile and other synthetic fiber spinning and hydraulic oil aspects. It can also be used as an odor-generating agent for city gas, an industrial purifying agent, a coating stripping agent, a battery low-temperature preservative, a pesticide penetrant, and the like. Topical use in blood medicine, plant pathology, and nutrition. It is used as a solvent, a catalyst, and the like for many inorganic compounds. |
preparation | dimethyl sulfate and sodium sulfide were reacted at 80-90°C. The reaction of methanol and carbon disulfide was catalyzed by aluminum hydroxide at 300°C. With activated alumina catalyzed methyl mercaptan at high temperature to remove hydrogen sulfide. |
content analysis | The content was determined by gas chromatography in GT-10-4 using a polar column. |
toxicity | GRAS(FEMA). |
production method | there are dimethyl sulfate method, carbon disulfide method, hydrogen sulfide method and black liquor method depending on the raw materials used. 1. Dimethyl sulfate method dimethyl sulfate and sodium sulfide react at 80-90 ℃ to form dimethyl sulfide. Carbon disulfide methyl alcohol and carbon disulfide in 300 deg C, aluminum hydroxide catalyzed reaction of dimethyl sulfide. 3. Hydrogen sulfide method methanol is dehydrated to dimethyl ether at high temperature using activated alumina as catalyst, and dimethyl ether is reacted with hydrogen sulfide to form dimethyl sulfide under the action of catalyst. 4. Papermaking black liquor process in the pulping process, about 62% of the non-fibrous matter is dissolved in the cooking liquor, which is commonly known as "black liquor" which contains a large amount of lignin. The black liquor is reacted with sulfur or sodium sulfide under high temperature and high pressure, so that the methoxy group of lignin is separated and the sulfur ion is combined to form dimethyl sulfide. obtained by the reaction of potassium sulfide and methyl chloride in methanol. It is obtained by heating methanol with carbon disulfide or hydrogen sulfide for gas phase reaction. |
