2-Methylbenzenethiol

Description:

2-Methylbenzenethiol, also known as o-cresol thiol, is an aromatic thiol characterized by the presence of a thiol (-SH) group attached to a methyl-substituted benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C7H8S, and it features a distinctive odor, often described as sulfurous or similar to that of garlic, which is typical for many thiols. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. 2-Methylbenzenethiol is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, and can participate in various chemical transformations due to the presence of both the aromatic ring and the thiol group. It is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals. Additionally, it is important to handle this substance with care due to its potential toxicity and irritant properties. Proper safety measures should be taken when working with 2-Methylbenzenethiol in laboratory settings.
