Dimethylsulfide and Dimethyl sulfide
There are pages for both Dimethylsulfide and Dimethyl sulfide. Having edited one, I discovered the other by following links (and edited it a little bit too). I guess we'd like to get rid of one (and redirect it to the other). Anyone have any preference for which we keep? Which notation do chemists prefer? --Plumbago 12:32, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Both seem to be widely used, however there are more hits on Google for dimethyl sulfide (347,000) than dimethylsulfide (45,000) and more wiki links too so I propose the page should be Dimethyl sulphide.--NHSavage 16:10, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The page should be given the title that corresponds to the proper chemical name. The number of Google hits will probably usually give the right one, as is the case here.  Go with the proper name dimethyl sulfide. Edgar181 20:17, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

The Dimethylsulfide and Dimethyl sulfide pages are distinctly different. The latter includes recent updates to the status of Gaylord Chemical, the primary producer of dimethyl sulfide, while the former (despite the redirect) does not. 206.16.109.32 (talk) 21:38, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Insoluble with water
The intro says:

"Dimethyl sulfide in concentrated liquid form is flammable and insoluble with a boiling point of 37°C and a disagreeable odor."

Is that insoluble with water they mean? ChristianB (talk) 20:32, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Smell of poon
Is this what makes a vajayjay smell funky? WMFEssaywriter (talk) 03:47, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * No, trimethylamine

used to control dusting
How does this work? What are the emissions given the low boiling point? References? --Rainald62 (talk) 23:37, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't have a clue what you are after. Could you clarify?JSR (talk) 23:39, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I think it refers to this in the "Industrial Uses" section: "In addition it is used to control dusting in steel mills."". In fact this whole section is rather lacking in references, so I have added a clean up tag.--NHSavage (talk) 18:06, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I didn't see that. It is total crap.  If someone has a reference, they can put it back in.JSR (talk) 18:39, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that. It didn't seem plausible to me but I don't know a lot about the industrial side.--NHSavage (talk) 20:17, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

DMS is rather important in beer brewing, we definitely need to include information regarding DMS and beer/brewingDigitalblister (talk) 13:11, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Application in beer brewing
My research indicates that there are two possible sources of dimethyl sulfide in brewing: (1) from pale wort that has not been boiled long enough or cooled rapidly enough, and (2) from bacterial infection. According to John Palmer's book, How to Brew:


 * "DMS is produced in the wort during the boil by the reduction of another compound, S-methyl-methionine (SMM), which is itself produced during malting. When a malt is roasted or toasted, the SMM is reduced beforehand and does not manifest as DMS in the wort, which explains why it is more prevalent in pale lagers. In other styles, DMS is a common off-flavor, and can be caused by poor brewing practices or bacterial infections."

Not sure where or whether this should be added to the article, but here it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.168.243.252 (talk) 18:23, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
