Usage

Uses

Used in Agricultural Applications:
Dimethyldithiocarbamic acid ethyl ester is used as a fungicide and bactericide for controlling various plant diseases caused by fungi and bacteria. It inhibits the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of essential substances in microorganisms, leading to their growth inhibition.
Used in Rubber Industry:
Dimethyldithiocarbamic acid ethyl ester is used as a vulcanization accelerator in the production of rubber. It helps to speed up the vulcanization process, improving the rubber's strength and elasticity.
Used in Organic Synthesis:
Dimethyldithiocarbamic acid ethyl ester is used as a reagent in organic synthesis for the production of various chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
However, due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact, the use of dimethyldithiocarbamic acid ethyl ester is regulated in many countries.

The Conversion of Amino into Sulphur Functionality

Primary alkylamines are converted by pyryliums into pyridiniums, which transfer their N-substituents to various sulphur nucleophiles.

Pesticidal compositions containing phosphoric esters and divalent sulphur compounds

Pesticidal composition comprising: a pesticidal, phosphoric ester the molecule of which has at least one alkyl group of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, 0.05 to 10% of an agent stabilizing the said ester against decomposition by protonisation, together with adjuvants characterized in that the stabilizing agent comprises at least one sulphur compound containing per molecule at least one divalent sulphur atom of which one valence is bonded to an atom chosen from sulphur, carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and metals capable of giving a salt, the other valence being bonded to an atom chosen from hydrogen, the carbon atom already noted, a second carbon atom, the nitrogen atom already noted, a second nitrogen atom, the metal atom already noted in the case of a metal of valence greater than one, a second atom of metal and oxygen when the first valence is not attached to an atom of hydrogen, the proportion of sulphur calculated with reference to the weight of the sulphur compound being between 5 and 99%. Process for stabilizing a phosphoric ester of which the molecule possesses at least one alkyl group containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms characterized in that there is added to the phosphoric ester or to a mixture which contains it, 0.05 to 10% calculated on the weight of the phosphoric acid ester of an agent capable of stabilizing the said phosphoric ester against protonisation and comprising at least one sulphur compound such as that defined thereupon.
