溶解度
about 35 % in water, less soluble in organic solvents. However, the free acid,
diethyldithiocarbamic acid, is readily soluble in organic solvents and less
soluble in water. Thus, on acidification of an aqueous solution of a diethyldithiocarbamate,
the free acid can be extracted with chloroform or carbon
tetrachloride. The distribution ratio is 2,360 for chloroform and 343 for
carbon tetrachloride.
