What is Sodium thiomethoxide CAS 5188-07-8?
Sodium thiomethoxide is the sodium salt of methyl mercaptan, with the chemical formula CH3SNa. Its aqueous solution is a light yellow red transparent liquid with a foul odor. It is a strong alkaline liquid and can be used as a raw material for pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and dye intermediates. It can be oxidized by iodine to dimethyl disulfide (CH3SSCH3) and analyzed accordingly. Sodium methylthionate reacts with sulfuric acid to produce methyl mercaptan.

Application
Sodium thioether is used as a strong nucleophilic reagent for the synthesis of methyl aryl sulfide from halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons. Alkyl thiol salts are effective reagents for the dealkylation of esters and aryl ethers using SN2. Sodium methylthionate can be used in the dye, pharmaceutical, and pesticide industries, and can be used in the manufacture of methionine and methomyl.
Packing
Usually packed in 25kg/drum,and also can be do customized package.
