General description
Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is a biogenic sulfur compound[1] that is released from the ocean to the atmosphere.[2] It forms the main component of the global sulfur cycle.[1][2] The thermal decomposition behavior of dimethyl sulfide in gas phase has been investigated in a static system at 681-723K.[3] The mechanism of its photochemical oxidation in atmosphere has been described.[2] The rate constants of the gas phase reaction between OH radicals and DMS have been determined by relative rate method and flash photolysis.[4] The differential Raman cross section, σDMS at different excitation wavelengths has been measured.[1] The adsorption of DMS on activated carbons (ACs) has been reported to take place by hydrogen bonding.[5]
Application
Dimethyl sulfide may be used to prepare methanethiol by thiolation reaction with hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the presence of tungsten-zirconia (WO3/ZrO2) catalyst.[6]
