2-Methyl-3-(methylthio)furan

Description:
2-Methyl-3-(methylthio)furan is an organic compound characterized by its furan ring structure, which is a five-membered aromatic ring containing one oxygen atom. This compound features a methyl group and a methylthio group attached to the furan ring, contributing to its unique chemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, often described as sweet or sulfurous. The presence of the methylthio group enhances its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and electrophilic additions. 2-Methyl-3-(methylthio)furan is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water, reflecting its hydrophobic nature. It is used in the synthesis of other organic compounds and may also be found in certain natural products or as a flavoring agent. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
