1 1′-Thiobisethane CAS 352-93-2 Typical Properties

Product Introduction:

1,1′-Thiobisethane, commonly known as Diethyl Sulfide (DES), is a simple organic sulfur compound belonging to the class of thioethers. It is a highly volatile, colorless liquid with a distinctive, strong, and unpleasant garlic-like odor. Its relatively simple structure, coupled with the presence of a sulfur atom, grants it specific chemical properties that make it useful in various industrial and laboratory applications.

Main Uses:

1. Organic Synthesis: Diethyl Sulfide serves as a versatile reagent and solvent in various organic synthesis reactions. It can act as a ligand for transition metal catalysts, a building block for more complex sulfur-containing organic molecules, or a protecting group.

2. Solvent: Due to its non-polar nature and good solvent power for many organic compounds, it is sometimes used as a specialized solvent in certain chemical processes and reactions where conventional solvents are unsuitable.

3. Odorant and Warning Agent: The strong, characteristic odor of diethyl sulfide makes it effective as an odorant in natural gas and other industrial gases to detect leaks, even though other mercaptans are more commonly used for this purpose. Its distinct smell provides a clear warning.

4. Chemical Intermediate: It acts as an intermediate in the production of other sulfur-containing chemicals, including sulfonium salts and more complex organic sulfides, which find applications in various industries.

5. Catalysis: In some specialized applications, it can be used as a component in catalyst systems, particularly those involving sulfur-tolerant catalysts.
