Applications
In the presence of iron chloride or copper chloride catalyst, or of liquid sulfur at 120 °C DADS can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of higher diallyl polysulfides (polysulfanes). In agriculture, DADS and related diallyl polysulfides show useful activity as environmentally-benign nematicides. DADS is also a starting material for the synthesis of allicin. In the food industry, DADS is used to improve the taste of meat, vegetables and fruits.
