Question
This compound or a cyclic relative is boiled when converting aromatic chlorides to fluorides in the Halex process. This is the simplest compound that can be activated by acetic anhydride in the Pummerer rearrangement. A “d6” derivative of this amphiphilic compound is often mixed with similar analogs of dichloromethane and chloroform to reduce its viscosity. This compound can be added to master mixes at 3 percent to inhibit secondary structures and decrease the (*) annealing temperature of GC-rich templates in PCR. The deuterated form of this compound shows a residual quintet peak at 2.50 ppm in proton NMR. This compound has a much higher boiling point than acetone, while only being different at its central atom. This polar aprotic solvent is rapidly absorbed by skin and leaves a taste of garlic. For 10 points, name this organic solvent that consists of two methyl groups and an oxygen double bonded to a central sulfur atom. ■END■
