Methyl dimethyldithiocarbamate
Methyl dimethyldithiocarbamate is the organosulfur compound with the formula (CH3)2NC(S)SCH3. It is the one of simplest dithiocarbamic esters. It is a white volatile solid that is poorly soluble in water but soluble in many organic solvents. It was once used as a pesticide.

Methyl dimethyldithiocarbamate can be prepared by methylation of salts of dimethyldithiocarbamate:[1]
- (CH3)2NCS2Na + (CH3O)2SO2 → (CH3)2NC(S)SCH3 + Na[CH3OSO3]
It can also be prepared by the reaction of a tetramethylthiuram disulfide with methyl Grignard reagents:[2]
- [(CH3)2NC(S)S]2 + CH3MgBr → (CH3)2NC(S)SCH3 + (CH3)2NCS2MgBr
