2,4,6-Trimethylbenzenemethanethiol

Description:
2,4,6-Trimethylbenzenemethanethiol, also known by its CAS number 21411-42-7, is an organic compound characterized by a thiol functional group (-SH) attached to a trimethyl-substituted benzene ring. This compound features a benzene core with three methyl groups located at the 2, 4, and 6 positions, which contributes to its steric bulk and hydrophobic nature. The presence of the thiol group imparts distinct chemical properties, including the ability to form disulfide bonds and participate in redox reactions. 2,4,6-Trimethylbenzenemethanethiol is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, characteristic odor, often associated with sulfur compounds. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic characteristics. This compound may be used in various applications, including as a building block in organic synthesis and in the formulation of fragrances or flavoring agents. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as thiols can be toxic and have strong odors.
