Diethyl sulfide is an organosulfur compound with the chemical formula (C
2H
5)
2S. It is a colorless, malodorous liquid. Although a common thioether, it has few applications.

Preparation[]

Diethyl sulfide is a by-product of the commercial production of ethanethiol, which is prepared by the reaction of ethylene with hydrogen sulfide over an alumina-based catalyst. The amount of diethyl sulfide produced can be controlled by varying the ratio of hydrogen sulfide to ethylene.

Occurrence[]

Diethyl sulfide has been found to be a constituent of the odor of durian fruit[2] and as a constituent found in volatiles from potatoes.[3]

Reactions[]

Diethyl sulfide is a Lewis base, classified as a soft ligand (see also ECW model).Its relative donor strength toward a series of acids, versus other Lewis bases, can be illustrated by C-B plots.[4][5] A typical complex is cis-PtCl2(SEt2)2.
