Description

Applications (2-Carboxyethyl)dimethyl-d6-sulfonium Chloride is an intermediate in the synthesis of Dimethylsulfonioproprionate-d6 (D479362), a labelled metabolite produced primarily by marine phytoplankton and is the main precursor to the climatically important gas dimethylsulfide (DMS). Dimethylsulfonioproprionate along with DMS is a primary source of sulfur aerosol in the earth’s atmosphere and may have an influence on global temperature.
