Dimethyl dicarbonate

Description:

Dimethyl dicarbonate (DMDC) is an organic compound with the molecular formula C5H10O5. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is soluble in water and organic solvents. DMDC is primarily used as a food and beverage preservative due to its ability to inhibit microbial growth, particularly in wine and fruit juices. The compound acts as an effective antimicrobial agent by releasing methanol upon hydrolysis, which can further react with other substances. Its mode of action involves the modification of cellular components, disrupting metabolic processes in microorganisms. DMDC is also utilized in various chemical syntheses and as a reagent in organic chemistry. While it is generally regarded as safe in low concentrations, it is important to handle it with care due to its potential toxicity and irritant properties. Proper storage conditions and safety precautions are essential when working with this compound to minimize exposure and ensure safe usage.

Dimethyl dicarbonate is a linear calibration curve standard used in the analysis of sodium carbonate and other alkaline substances. It is prepared by reacting ethylene diamine with sodium dicarbonate in presence of an acid, such as acetic acid. The reaction solution contains methyl ethyl ketone, dimethyl carbonate, and water. Dimethyl dicarbonate has antimicrobial properties that are effective against many bacteria, fungi, and yeasts. It is often used as a preservative in reactive solutions or as an ingredient in cosmetics to prevent bacterial growth.
