2,4-Dimethylthiophene

Description:

2,4-Dimethylthiophene is an organic compound characterized by its five-membered aromatic ring structure that includes a sulfur atom. It belongs to the class of thiophenes, which are heterocyclic compounds containing sulfur. This particular compound features two methyl groups attached to the thiophene ring at the 2 and 4 positions, contributing to its unique chemical properties. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, often described as sweet or aromatic. 2,4-Dimethylthiophene is known for its relatively low boiling point and moderate solubility in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as a building block in organic synthesis and in the production of specialty chemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the sulfur atom and the methyl substituents, allowing it to participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Additionally, it is important to handle this compound with care due to potential health and environmental impacts, as with many organic solvents and compounds.

2,4-Dimethylthiophene is a potential use for the treatment of respiratory infection. It has been shown to have bactericidal effects on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae at concentrations of 0.5-8μM. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) for 2,4-dimethylthiophene against these bacteria was found to be significantly lower than that of erythromycin. 2,4-Dimethylthiophene has also been shown to have antibacterial activity against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This property may be due to its ability to react with fatty acids in the bacterial cell membrane and form an antibacterial molecule called diallyl trisulfide. 2,4-Dimethylthiophene reacts with hydrochloric acid in water at room temperature to form propionate ions and hydrogen chloride gas.
