Ethyl 4-(ethylthio)benzeneacetate

Description:

Ethyl 4-(ethylthio)benzeneacetate, with the CAS number 745052-90-8, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and a thioether moiety. This compound features an ethyl group attached to a benzene ring that is further substituted with a thioether group (ethylthio) and an acetate group. Ethyl 4-(ethylthio)benzeneacetate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor, indicative of its aromatic structure. It is soluble in organic solvents, such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic characteristics. The presence of the ethylthio group can impart unique chemical reactivity, making it of interest in various synthetic applications, including organic synthesis and potentially in the development of fragrances or flavoring agents. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, observing appropriate safety protocols to mitigate any risks associated with exposure or reactivity.
