It is a component of the smell produced from cooking of certain vegetables, notably maize, cabbage, beetroot and seafoods.
D 2101 (OTTO) Dimethyl sulphide, puriss, 99% Cas 75-18-3 - used in petroleum refining to pre-sulfide hydrodesulfurization catalysts, although other disulfides or polysulfides are preferred and easier to handle. D 2101 (OTTO) Dimethyl sulphide, puriss, 99% Cas 75-18-3 - used as a presulfiding agent to control the formation of coke and carbon monoxide in ethylene production. D 2101 (OTTO) Dimethyl sulphide, puriss, 99% Cas 75-18-3 - used in a range of organic syntheses, including as a reducing agent in ozonolysis reactions. It also has a use as a food flavoring component. It can also be oxidized to dimethyl sulfoxide, (DMSO), which is an important industrial solvent.
