3,4-Dimethylthiophene

Description:

3,4-Dimethylthiophene is an organic compound characterized by its five-membered aromatic ring structure, which includes a sulfur atom and two methyl groups attached to the 3 and 4 positions of the thiophene ring. Its molecular formula is C6H8S, indicating the presence of six carbon atoms, eight hydrogen atoms, and one sulfur atom. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, often described as sweet and somewhat reminiscent of certain types of natural products. 3,4-Dimethylthiophene is known for its role in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It exhibits moderate solubility in water but is more soluble in organic solvents. The compound is stable under normal conditions but may undergo reactions typical of thiophenes, such as electrophilic substitution. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may be irritating to the skin and eyes.

3,4-Dimethylthiophene is a reactive chemical that has been used in the treatment of acne. It also has been shown to be an effective antimicrobial agent against resistant strains of microorganisms such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis. 3,4-Dimethylthiophene is activated by metal cations and fatty acids in the cell membrane, which leads to bond cleavage and the production of reactive oxygen species. The reaction time for this process varies depending on the type of fatty acid used but can be as short as 10 minutes. 3,4-Dimethylthiophene is synthesized from isoprene with an activation energy of 118 kJ/mol. The functional theory explains how this reaction occurs with an electron transfer from the methyl group to form a radical cation, which reacts with oxygen to form a peroxy radical.
