Dimethylsulfide and Acrylic Acid reaction
« on: April 06, 2007, 04:13:29 PM »

I am working with a seaweed that produces dimethylsulfoniopropionate, which is cleaved by an enzyme to form dimethylsulfide and acrylic acid. If I mix the two together at 40 C (this is for an experiment related to the seaweed...I won't bore you with the details), are these chemicals likely to react (I'm hoping not), and if so, what is will the products be?
