2-Methoxy-4-methylbenzenethiol

Description:

2-Methoxy-4-methylbenzenethiol, also known as p-cresol methyl ether thiol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a thiol (-SH) group attached to a benzene ring that also features a methoxy (-OCH₃) and a methyl (-CH₃) substituent. This compound has a molecular formula that reflects its aromatic structure, which contributes to its chemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct odor, often described as sulfurous or similar to that of garlic, due to the thiol group. The presence of the methoxy group enhances its solubility in organic solvents while the thiol group imparts reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions. 2-Methoxy-4-methylbenzenethiol may be used in various applications, including as a building block in organic synthesis and in the formulation of fragrances. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as thiols can be toxic and have strong odors that may cause irritation.
