2,6-Dimethylbenzenethiol

Description:

2,6-Dimethylbenzenethiol, also known as 2,6-dimethyl-1-thiotoluene, is an aromatic thiol characterized by the presence of a thiol (-SH) functional group attached to a dimethyl-substituted benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C10H14S, indicating it consists of ten carbon atoms, fourteen hydrogen atoms, and one sulfur atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor reminiscent of rotten eggs or garlic, which is common among thiols. It is slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature due to the aromatic structure. 2,6-Dimethylbenzenethiol is used in various applications, including as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of fragrances and flavorings. It is important to handle this substance with care, as thiols can be toxic and irritating to the skin and respiratory system. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this compound.

2,6-Dimethylthiophenol

CAS: 118-72-9

2,6-Dimethylthiophenol is a structural analog of the natural product sumatrana. It has been shown to be an effective catalyst for the cleavage of carbon-carbon bonds in organic molecules and fatty acids. 2,6-Dimethylthiophenol is unique because it contains two sulfur atoms that are part of a thiolate group, which can easily be oxidized to a sulfoxide or sulfone. This property makes 2,6-dimethylthiophenol an excellent reductant in reactions that require a metallacycle intermediate. The reactivity of this molecule is also influenced by its redox potential and the presence of nitrogen atoms. 2,6-Dimethylthiophenol was synthesized and studied using model compounds, yielding reaction yields as high as 98%.
