Chemical Structure
Basic Info
Bis(methylthio)methane (CAS No.: 1618-26-4) is a sulfur-containing organic compound with a chemical formula of C3H8S2. It is a colorless to light yellow liquid at room temperature and has a strong characteristic sulfide smell (similar to garlic, truffles or mustard). Its molecular structure consists of a methylene group (—CH₂—) connected to two methylthio groups (—SCH₃). It belongs to the thioether class of compounds and can be prepared by the reaction of dichloromethane with sodium methylthiolate, or by the condensation of formaldehyde and methylthiol. The compound is easily soluble in organic solvents but difficult to dissolve in water. It is often used as a flavor enhancer in the food and spice industries.
As an important spice intermediate, bis(methylthio)methane is widely used in food seasoning (such as truffle oil, meat flavor), daily chemical flavors (to give smoky woody tones) and tobacco flavoring. Its unique sulfur-containing structure enables it to simulate the complex aroma of natural ingredients (such as fermented foods or grilled meats) and produce significant flavor effects at extremely low concentrations (ppm level).

Food and spice field
Bis(methylthio)methane is the core raw material of high-end food essence, and is particularly good at simulating the unique “soil garlic” complex aroma of truffle. It can enhance the smell of baking and fat in meat essence, and present the characteristic flavor of shellfish cooking in seafood flavor. Its ppm level addition can significantly enhance the aroma level of essence such as coffee and nuts.
Daily chemical essence field
Bis(methylthio)methane is an important modifier of high-end perfume, especially suitable for the deployment of oriental fragrance and woody perfume, which can bring a lasting “warm spicy” background for personal care products. At the same time, as a fixative for soap and shower gel, it is also an indispensable core fragrance ingredient in household fragrance products.
Tobacco industry applications
In traditional cigarette formulations, Bis(methylthio)methane can significantly improve smoke fullness; As a distinctive flavor additive in e-liquid; For cigar products, it can enhance the richness of fermented tobacco and is a key ingredient in the tobacco flavoring process.
Organic synthesis applications
As an important building block for sulfide synthesis, Bis(methylthio)methane plays a key intermediate role in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, and can also serve as a ligand for transition metal catalytic reactions and a modifier for polymer materials, with multiple values in the field of fine chemicals.
Special field use
In the truffle cultivation industry, Bis (methylthio) methane serves as an aroma standard substance, a standard in food flavor analysis, a chemical in insect behavior regulation research, and an efficient attractant for pet food, demonstrating its interdisciplinary potential for widespread application.
