MMTS Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Clear colorless to yellow liquid

Uses

(Methylthio)dimethyl sulfoxide is a essential oil from fruit of Gallesia integrifolia exhibit antifungal activity against Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus ochraceus.

Definition

ChEBI: (Methylsulfinyl)(methylthio)methane is a sulfoxide.

Reactivity Profile

Formaldehyde Dimethyl Thioacetal Monoxide is a versatile synthetic reagent used to produce aldehydes, ketones, α-keto carboxylates, α-amino acid derivatives, and arylacetic acid derivatives.

Synthesis

Formaldehyde Dimethyl Thioacetal Monoxide could be preparative through the substitution of chloromethyl methyl sulfoxide with sodium methanethiol or the oxidation of formaldehyde dimethyl dithioacetal with hydrogen peroxide.

Precautions

The reagent decomposes slightly when heated under acidic conditions. It is stable in alkaline and neutral media. It is desirable to keep the reagent in a tightly sealed container over 4 ? molecular sieves.
