2-Amino-3-methoxybenzenethiol

Description:

2-Amino-3-methoxybenzenethiol, also known as o-amino-methoxythiophenol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of an amino group (-NH2), a methoxy group (-OCH3), and a thiol group (-SH) attached to a benzene ring. This compound features a benzene ring substituted at the 2 and 3 positions, which influences its chemical reactivity and properties. It is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit a characteristic odor due to the thiol group. The presence of the amino group makes it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions. The methoxy group can enhance the compound's solubility in organic solvents and may also influence its electronic properties. Additionally, the thiol group can participate in redox reactions and form disulfide bonds, making this compound of interest in biochemical applications. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as thiols can be toxic and have strong odors.
