What is Thiram?
Plain description, key identifiers and synonyms
Thiram is an organic disulfide that results from the formal oxidative dimerisation of N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamic acid. It is widely used as a fungicidal seed treatment. It has a role as an antibacterial drug, an antiseptic drug and an antifungal agrochemical. It contains a dimethyldithiocarbamate. It is functionally related to a dimethyldithiocarbamic acid.
Thiram is a moderately toxic organosulfur compound.

Pharmacology
Thiram is a Standardized Chemical Allergen. The physiologic effect of thiram is by means of Increased Histamine Release and Cell-mediated Immunity.
How it is made
Thiram is produced by careful oxidation of a N,N-dimethyl dithiocarbamate salt with hydrogen peroxide, chlorine, or air.
First prepared by oxidation of dimethylamine salt of dimethyldithiocarbamic acid with iodine in ethanolic solution. ... In USA by passing chlorine gas through solution of sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate. In Canada ... from iron oxide, hydrogen peroxide, sodium hydroxide, dimethylamine, and carbon disulfide.
