 |  | 2,6-DIMETHYLTHIOPHENOL Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Description | 2,6-Dimethylbenzenethiol, also known as 2,6-dimethyl thiophenol or 2,6-xylenethiol, the molecular formula is C8H10S, which belongs to the class of organic compounds known as thiophenols. Thiophenols are compounds containing a thiophenol ring, which a phenol derivative obtained by replacing the oxygen atom from the hydroxyl group (attached to the benzene) by a sulfur atom. 2,6-Dimethylbenzenethiol is a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 2,6-Dimethylbenzenethiol is a meaty, metallic, and phenolic tasting compound. 
2,6-Dimethylbenzenethiol is found in animal foods. It is present in boiled beef. It is a flavouring ingredient. 2,6-Dimethylbenzenethiol was used in the synthesis of (2,6-Me2C6H3S)2Pb by reacting with Pb(OAc)2. 
 |  | Chemical Properties | clear colorless to light yellow liquid |  | Chemical Properties | 2,6-Dimethylthiophenol has a strong odor. |  | Occurrence | Reported found in boiled beef |  | Uses | 2,6-Dimethylbenzenethiol was used in the synthesis of (2,6-Me2C6H3S)2Pb by reacting with Pb(OAc)2. |  | Taste threshold values | Meaty, vegetative and nutty with a slight sulfuraceous nuance. |
