Description
Dimethyl sulphoxide is a polar aprotic laboratory solvent offered as ROTIDRY®Sept grade with a minimum purity of 99,8 % and a stated water specification of min. 100 ppm H₂O. It carries CAS number 67-68-5 and the empirical formula C₂H₆OS, with a molar mass of 78,13 g/mol and a density of 1,1 g/cm³. The boiling point is 189 °C and the flash point is 87 °C. Supplied in a 250 ml pack, this dry-grade DMSO is suited to dissolution of polar and non-polar compounds, reaction media, and sample preparation where a high-purity sulphoxide solvent is preferred. Key physicochemical values correspond to the data provided by manufacturer Carl ROTH. Dimethyl sulphoxide is widely used in organic synthesis, biochemistry, and analytical workflows that benefit from its strong solvating power and defined ROTIDRY®Sept quality profile.
This article belongs on Dry & deuterated solvents (NMR, synthesis), in Solvents.

Questions about Dimethyl sulphoxide, ROTIDRY®Sept min. 99,8% (min.100ppm H2O), 250 ml
What is this article?
Dimethyl sulphoxide, ROTIDRY®Sept min. 99,8% (min.100ppm H2O), 250 ml is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Dry & deuterated solvents (NMR, synthesis), inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
A dry solvent has had water removed to a stated level, for a reaction that water would stop. A deuterated solvent replaces hydrogen with deuterium so an NMR spectrum is not drowned by the solvent signal. The isotopic enrichment and the water content are the two specifications. Caps and septa matter, because either product picks up moisture from the air.
A solvent dissolves. The grade says which impurities are low enough for the method. Analytical grade is the ordinary pure solvent. HPLC and LC-MS grades limit the absorbance and the ions that would become peaks or background. A dry solvent has had water removed. A deuterated solvent is for NMR, where the hydrogen signal would otherwise drown the sample. Technical grade is for cleaning and for synthesis that does not need a chromatogram. Identity is on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Hazards follow ECHA, the CLP Regulation and REACH.
