Description

Dimethylammonium dimethyldithiocarbamate is a nucleophilic aliphatic hydrocarbon that has been used as a fungicide. It inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in melanin synthesis. Dimethylammonium dimethyldithiocarbamate reacts with the phenol group of tyrosine to form an intermediate that undergoes a nucleophilic attack by the thiol group of carbon disulphide, leading to the formation of an adduct. The reaction mechanism for this process is shown below:

CH3C6H4OH + CH3N+S-R’ + CS2 → CH3N+S-R’CH2C6H4OCH3

This reaction results in the formation of the adduct, CH3N+S-R’CH2C6H4OCH3.
