Benzyl Methyl Disulfide CAS 699-10-5 Typical Properties

Product Introduction:

Benzyl Methyl Disulfide is an organosulfur compound characterized by a disulfide linkage connecting a benzyl group and a methyl group. It typically exists as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a potent, characteristic odor often described as green, oniony, garlic-like, or sulfury. This compound is a significant aroma chemical, naturally found in some foods, and is valued for its unique contribution to flavor and fragrance profiles.

Main Uses:

1. Flavor and Fragrance Industry: Benzyl Methyl Disulfide is widely used as a key ingredient in flavor and fragrance formulations. It contributes authentic garlic, onion, and roasted notes, making it indispensable in savory flavor creation for sauces, dressings, snacks, and meat products. In fragrances, it can add interesting sulfury or green nuances.

2. Food Flavoring: It is incorporated into various food products to impart or enhance specific savory characteristics. Its presence helps create realistic flavors in seasonings, processed foods, and convenience meals, especially those aiming for an umami or ‘cooked’ profile.

3. Pharmaceutical Intermediates: The disulfide bond and the aromatic ring offer reactive sites, making BMDS a useful intermediate in the synthesis of certain pharmaceutical compounds, particularly those containing sulfur moieties.

4. Agrochemicals: It can serve as a building block or precursor in the development of some agrochemicals, where its unique structure contributes to the desired biological activity or stability.
