DMSO Technical Articles

DMSO can be oxidized to dimethyl sulfone, or MSM. Learn the feedstock role, reaction-control needs and downstream separation considerations.

Corey–Chaykovsky epoxidation uses sulfur ylides to convert carbonyl compounds into epoxides. Learn where DMSO fits in this chemistry.

DMSO is listed as a solvent option in a specific cyanohydrin process. Reaction type, cyanide containment and work-up define its suitability.

Documented acifluorfen-related routes use DMSO in aryl-ether formation, with positional impurities and downstream purification to consider.

DMSO can contribute carbon in selected organic reactions. A benzothiazole synthesis illustrates the difference between carbon source and solvent.

Selected research reactions use DMSO as a sulfur donor or oxidant in thiophene chemistry. Its atom-transfer role depends on the actual route.

Activated DMSO is used in documented emamectin-related intermediate oxidations, with selectivity and work-up tied to the protected substrate.

DMSO is used in selected amine-substitution steps in fluoroquinolone synthesis, including documented ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin routes.

DMSO is one solvent option for selected aromatic halogen-exchange reactions. Water, fluoride-salt dispersion and work-up affect the process.

Kornblum oxidation uses DMSO to convert suitable alkyl electrophiles into carbonyl compounds. Learn the reagent role and work-up considerations.
