Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) C2H6OS CAS:67-68-5 - High-Quality Supplier and Factory in China
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a sulfur-containing organic compound, with the English name Dimethylsulfoxide, and its molecular formula is (CH3)2SO. At room temperature, it is a colorless and odorless transparent liquid with hygroscopicity and flammability. It has the characteristics of high polarity, high boiling point, non-protonic nature, and miscibility with water. It has extremely low toxicity and good thermal stability. It does not mix with alkanes and can dissolve in most organic substances such as water, ethanol, propanol, ether, benzene, and chloroform.
It is hailed as the "universal solvent". Among the commonly used organic solvents, it is the one with the strongest dissolving ability. It can dissolve a large portion of organic substances, including carbohydrates, polymers, peptides, and many inorganic salts and gases. It can dissolve a solute equivalent to 50-60% of its own weight (while other common solvents can only dissolve 10-20%). Therefore, it is very important in sample management and high-speed drug screening. Under certain conditions, when DMSO comes into contact with acyl chlorides, an explosive reaction will occur.
