Uses
Isotope labelled 1,1тАЩ-Thiobismethane is used in the synthesis of heterocyclic carbene complexes that are toxic to cancer cells. It is also used in the synthesis of compounds displaying antimalarial activity.
General Description
Dimethyl sulfide-d
6 [(CD
3)
2S] is a deuterated NMR solvent useful in NMR-based research and analyses. It can form 1:1 complex with halothane by the formation of C–H…S hydrogen bonds. During the reaction of (CD
3)
2S with singlet oxygen in aprotic solvents, the H-D exchange in the methyl group was observed. The electronic spectra of (CD
3)
2S has been measured between 1250 and 2500.
