Dimethyl sulfide has a characteristic odor commonly described as cabbage-like.It becomes highly disagreeable at even quite low concentrations. Some reports claim that DMS has a low olfactory threshold that varies from 0.02 to 0.1 ppm [clarification needed] between different persons, but it has been suggested that the odor attributed to dimethyl sulfide may in fact be due to disulfides ...
DMSO reductase is a molybdenum-containing enzyme that catalyzes reduction of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to dimethyl sulfide (DMS). This enzyme serves as the terminal reductase under anaerobic conditions in some bacteria, with DMSO being the terminal electron acceptor. During the course of the reaction, the oxygen atom in DMSO is transferred to ...

Organosulfur chemistry is the study of the properties and synthesis of organosulfur compounds, which are organic compounds that contain sulfur. [1] They are often associated with foul odors, but many of the sweetest compounds known are organosulfur derivatives, e.g., saccharin.
The most abundant in nature is dimethyl sulfide (CH 3 −S−CH 3) produced by the degradation of dimethylsulfoniopropionate. Many other organic S compounds affect the global sulfur cycle, including methanethiol , dimethyl disulfide , and carbon disulfide .
Dimethyl-sulfide monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.131, dimethylsulfide monooxygenase) is an enzyme with systematic name dimethyl sulfide,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase. [1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction. dimethyl sulfide + O 2 + NADH + H + methanethiol + formaldehyde + NAD + + H 2 O
Azelaic acid and pelargonic acids are produced from ozonolysis of oleic acid on an industrial scale. An example is the ozonolysis of eugenol converting the terminal alkene to an aldehyde: [9] By controlling the reaction/workup conditions, unsymmetrical products can be generated from symmetrical alkenes: [10]
Dimethyl sulfite is prepared from a 1:2 ratio of thionyl chloride and methanol. [4] The reaction can be catalyzed by tertiary amine bases and likely proceeds via the chlorosulfinate (MeOS(O)Cl), [5] this intermediate will exist only fleetingly in the presence of methanol and as such its decomposition to methyl chloride and sulfur dioxide (via the slower SNi mechanism) is not observed to any ...
