4-Methoxy-α-toluenethiol

Description:

4-Methoxy-α-toluenethiol, also known by its CAS number 6258-60-2, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a thiol (-SH) group and a methoxy (-OCH₃) substituent on a toluene backbone. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the thiol group imparts reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic substitutions and oxidation processes. Additionally, the methoxy group can influence the compound's electronic properties and steric hindrance, affecting its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. 4-Methoxy-α-toluenethiol is of interest in organic synthesis and may have applications in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as a chemical intermediate. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as thiols can be malodorous and may pose health risks upon exposure.
