Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO CAS 67-68-5) has a wide range of applications in many fields due to its unique physicochemical properties.
Physical Properties of Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO)
- Appearance: Colorless, odorless, transparent liquid at room temperature
- Melting Point: 18.4°C
- Boiling Point: 189°C
- Density: 1.100 kg/m³
- Flash Point: 95°C
- Solubility: Highly polar; soluble in most organic solvents such as ethanol, propanol, benzene, and chloroform; miscible with water. Known as a "universal solvent." DMSO is also strongly hygroscopic, capable of absorbing up to 70% of its own weight in water from the air at 20°C and 60% relative humidity.
Chemical Properties of Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO)
- Stability: DMSO is stable at room temperature but may decompose at elevated temperatures. It reacts vigorously with chlorine and can also react under the presence of strong acids, strong bases, or strong oxidizing agents.
- Reactivity: The sulfur atom in DMSO carries a partial positive charge, enabling it to participate in a variety of organic reactions, including nucleophilic substitution and electrophilic addition. It can also form complexes with amines, metal salts, and organic acids.
- Other Properties: Under certain conditions, DMSO can be reduced to dimethyl sulfide or oxidized to dimethyl sulfone.

How to use DMSO safely?
While Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) has a wide range of applications, strict safety regulations must be followed during handling. Although its volatility is low, high concentrations of vapor may irritate the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. It is recommended to use it in a well-ventilated environment and wear protective gloves and goggles. In case of accidental contact, immediately flush with plenty of water and seek medical attention. Store away from fire and strong oxidizers; room temperature storage is sufficient for stability.
