slightly yellow to yellow low melting crystalline
Dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride was used in chemoselective deoxygenation of pyridine-N-oxides. It was used in the synthesis of (±)-thia-calanolide A. It was used as starting reagent in the synthesis of dimethylthiocarbamates.
Dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. It finds application in chemoselective deoxygenation of pyridine-N-oxides. It is also used as a starting reagent in the synthesis of dimethylthiocarbamates.
Crystallise it twice from pentane and/or distil it at low pressure. [Beilstein 4 III 147.]
