CAS 2444-37-3

(Methylthio)acetic acid

Description:

Methylthioacetic acid, with the CAS number 2444-37-3, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a methylthio group and a carboxylic acid functional group. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The molecular structure features a methylthio (-S-CH3) group attached to the acetic acid backbone, which contributes to its unique chemical properties. This compound is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile in various applications. Methylthioacetic acid is known for its potential use in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as a flavoring agent due to its sulfur-containing structure, which can impart specific sensory characteristics. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, although specific studies on its toxicity and environmental impact are limited. As with many organic acids, it is important to handle methylthioacetic acid with care, following appropriate safety protocols to mitigate any risks associated with its use.
