CAS 3446-90-0

4-(Methylthio)benzenemethanol

Description:

4-(Methylthio)benzenemethanol, with the CAS number 3446-90-0, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzene ring substituted with a methylthio group and a hydroxymethyl group. This compound features a thiomethyl group (-S-CH3) attached to the para position of the benzene ring, which influences its chemical reactivity and physical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) suggests that it can participate in hydrogen bonding, which may affect its solubility in polar solvents. Additionally, the methylthio group can impart unique electronic properties, making the compound of interest in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and potential applications in organic synthesis. Its characteristics, such as boiling point, melting point, and reactivity, can vary based on the specific conditions and the presence of other functional groups in a reaction environment.

4-(Methylthio)benzyl Alcohol

CAS: 3446-90-0

4-(Methylthio)benzyl Alcohol (MSBA) is a sulfate salt of 4-(methylthio)benzol, which is used as an inhibitor for cytochrome P450 enzymes. MSBA forms a covalent bond with cytochrome P450 and inhibits the oxidation of substrates to form reactive metabolites. This inhibitor can also be used to identify the active site of cytochrome P450 enzymes by docking analysis. The inhibition by MSBA has been demonstrated in recombinant cytochrome P450s using acetonitrile and stilbene derivatives as substrates. The inhibitory potency of MSBA is related to its methoxy groups and sulfate salt groups, which are important for binding with the enzyme. MSBA has been shown to metabolize into primary alcohols, such as 2-propynyl ethyl alcohol, that have inhibitory activities against cytochrome P450 enzymes.
