Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is a volatile organosulfur compound with the molecular formula C₂H₆S and CAS No. 75-18-3. It is primarily produced industrially via the reaction of dimethyl sulfate with sodium sulfide or through the reduction of dimethyl sulfoxide.
DMS is highly flammable and possesses a pungent odor; strict ventilation and explosion-proof equipment are required. Store in cool, dry areas away from oxidizers. Do not use for direct human consumption without purification compliance.
