The formation of dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl sulfone, and methane (by H-abstraction) observed in these photolyses is thus accounted for. Hydrogen abstraction by the methylsulfinyl radical affords methanesulfenic acid, CH3SOH, a very reactive molecule, which rapidly undergoes a series of secondary reactions to produce the methanesulfonic acid, methyl methanethiolsulfonate (CH3S02SCH3), and dimethyl disulfide which were also observed during these photolyses. 

The oxidation of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and the subsequent oxidation of the latter to methanesulfonic acid (MSA) have been observed in field studies. For example, one study in Antarctica which focused on the chemistry of dimethyl sulfide (Berresheim and Eisele, 1998) measured not only DMS but also a variety of its oxidation products, including DMSO, MSA, and dimethyl sulfone (Berresheim et al., 1998). The measured concentrations of DMSO were in agreement with model results if 80-100% of the OH + DMS reaction gave DMSO as discussed earlier, the addition channel that leads to DMSO becomes relatively more important at the lower temperatures found in Antarctica. Furthermore, the... 

Preparation of the title compound by interaction of dimethyl sulfoxide and bromo-methane, sealed into a resin-coated glass bottle and heated at 65°C, led to an explosion after 120 h. The isolated salt thermally decomposes above 180°C to produce formaldehyde and a residue of methanesulfonic acid. In solution in dimethyl sulfoxide, the salt begins to decompose after several hours at 74—80°C (after exposure to light), the exothermic reaction accelerating with vigorous evolution of vapour (including formaldehyde and dimethyl sulfide), the residue of methanesulfonic acid finally attaining 132°C. Some white solid, probably poly-formaldehyde, is also produced. The explosion... 

Methanesulfonic acid, although it comprises a relatively small fraction of total non sea-salt aerosol sulfur, has been shown (2) to be a ubiquitous component of marine aerosols. Its occurrence and distribution have been suggested as of use as an in situ tracer (3.4) for oceanic emissions and subsequent reaction and deposition pathways of organosulfur compounds and dimethyl sulfide in particular. 

Selective demethylotion. Alkyl methyl phosphates undergo demethylation when treated with dimethyl sulfide or ethanethiol and methanesulfonic acid (equation I). The products are isolated as the aniline salts. 

An example in which formation of a carbon radical is not the initial reaction is provided by the atmospheric reactions of organic sulfides and disulfides. They also provide an example in which rates of reaction with nitrate radicals exceed those with hydroxyl radicals. 2-dimethylthiopropionic acid is produced by algae and by the marsh grass Spartina alternifolia, and may then be metabolized in sediment slurries under anoxic conditions to dimethyl sulfide (Kiene and Taylor 1988), and by aerobic bacteria to methyl sulfide (Taylor and Gilchrist 1991). It should be added that methyl sulfide can be produced by biological methylation of sulfide itself (HS ) (Section 6.11.4). Dimethyl sulfide — and possibly also methyl sulfide — is oxidized in the troposphere to sulfur dioxide and methanesulfonic acids. 

Dimethyl sulfide — and possibly also methyl sulfide — is oxidized in the troposphere to sulfuric and methanesulfonic acids, and it has been suggested that these compounds may play a critical role in promoting cloud formation... 

A widespread marine source of S02 is required to explain these observations. In Section 10.2 it was shown that the oceans release hydrogen sulfide and dimethyl sulfide, and that both are rapidly oxidized in the atmosphere by reaction with OH radicals. The processes convert hydrogen sulfide fully to S02, whereas dimethyl sulfide yields primarily methanesulfonic acid, and S02 accounts for only 25% of all products. Let us see whether the oxidation of these compounds suffices to explain the S02 mixing ratios observed in marine air. For this purpose we assume steady-state conditions and use the lifetimes for H2S and DMS given in Table 10-2. The mixing ratio for S02 at the ocean surface then is... 

Synthetic methods for preparation of 1,2,4,5-tetroxanes have been reviewed recently <2001COR601, 2002RMC113>. The most general method involves acid-catalyzed addition of hydrogen peroxide to carbonyl compounds and subsequent cyclization of the hydroperoxide intermediates. The direct synthesis is carried out normally in the presence of either sulfuric, perchloric, or methanesulfonic acids and affords symmetrically substituted tetroxanes (Equation 26). In many cases, for example, where the carbonyl compound is unsubstituted in the a-position, tetroxanes are contaminated with hexaoxonanes and open-chain hydroperoxides. Selective removal of the more reactive hydroperoxides can be achieved with dimethyl sulfide or potassium iodide. Recrystallization usually removes residual hexaoxonanes but, failing that, heating the mixture with perchloric acid in acetic acid can convert hexaoxonanes to tetroxanes or convert the thermodynamically less stable hexaoxonanes to more water-soluble lactones, which may facilitate the purification process <2002RMC113>.
