1,2-Dimethoxy-3-(methylthio)benzene

Description:

1,2-Dimethoxy-3-(methylthio)benzene, with the CAS number 51506-47-9, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with two methoxy groups and a methylthio group. The presence of the methoxy groups (-OCH3) enhances its solubility in organic solvents and can influence its reactivity and interaction with other chemical species. The methylthio group (-S-CH3) introduces sulfur into the molecule, which can affect its electronic properties and potential applications in synthesis or as a ligand in coordination chemistry. This compound is typically colorless to pale yellow in appearance and may have a characteristic odor. It is important in various chemical syntheses and may serve as an intermediate in the production of other compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken due to potential toxicity or reactivity.
