Methyl 4-(methylthio)benzoate is an organic compound that has been found to be a good methylating agent. Methylation reactions are necessary for the detoxification of ethyl methanesulfonate, which is a toxic substance that can form spontaneously in the body. The methyl group from this chemical is transferred to another molecule, making it less dangerous. Methyl 4-(methylthio)benzoate can also be used to produce other chemicals, such as triflates and sulfinyl compounds. This chemical also has transport properties and may function as a postulated intermediate in the methylating reaction.
