Infobox references

Dimethyl sulfite is a sulfite ester with the chemical formula (CH₃O)₂SO.

Dimethyl sulfite is used as an additive in some polymers to prevent oxidation.^[2] It is also a potentially useful high energy battery electrolyte solvent.^[3]

Structure and conformation

The dimethyl sulfite molecule can adopt several conformations. The most stable is the GG conformer.^[1] Each C–O bond is gauche to the S=O bond, depicted below.

Preparation

Although formally derived from sulfurous acid, dimethyl sulfite is prepared from thionyl chloride and methanol.

OSCl₂ + 2CH₃OH → OS(OCH₃)₂ + 2HCl
