2-Methyl-3-furanthiol

Description:
2-Methyl-3-furanthiol, with the CAS number 28588-74-1, is an organic compound characterized by its distinctive thiol functional group and a furan ring structure. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its strong, sulfurous odor, often described as resembling that of cooked onions or garlic. It is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic furan ring. The presence of the thiol group imparts reactivity, making it susceptible to oxidation and other chemical transformations. 2-Methyl-3-furanthiol is primarily used in the flavor and fragrance industry, where it contributes to the aroma profile of various food products and perfumes. Its unique scent profile makes it valuable in small quantities, although care must be taken in handling due to its potent odor. Additionally, it may have applications in research and development within organic synthesis and materials science.
