Product Information

• Name: 2-Methylthian-3-one
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Methylthian-3-one is an alkylating agent that has been used to synthesize substituted pyridines. It is a six-membered ring with two methyl groups on the same side of the ring, which gives it its name. This compound has been shown to undergo stereoselective alkylation reactions at carbons adjacent to both the axial and equatorial positions with alkyl halides. The chemical shift for 2-methylthian-3-one is constant, at -1.6 ppm in chloroform solution and -0.5 ppm in DMSO solution. The parameters that affect the chemical shift are conformational and axial substituents on the ring, as well as substitution patterns on the other carbon atoms of the molecule.
