CAS 10230-61-2: 4,5-Dimethyl-1,2-benzenedimethanethiol
Description:4,5-Dimethyl-1,2-benzenedimethanethiol, with the CAS number 10230-61-2, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of thiol functional groups. This compound features a benzene ring substituted with two methyl groups at the 4 and 5 positions, as well as two methanethiol groups attached to the 1 and 2 positions of the ring. The presence of thiol (-SH) groups imparts distinct properties, including a strong, often unpleasant odor, and reactivity typical of thiols, such as the ability to form disulfides and participate in nucleophilic reactions. The compound is likely to be a liquid at room temperature, with moderate solubility in organic solvents. Its chemical behavior may be influenced by the steric hindrance introduced by the methyl groups, which can affect its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. Due to its unique structure, it may have applications in organic synthesis, fragrance formulation, or as a potential intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds.
