 |  | 2-Methylthiophene Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Chemical Properties | clear colorless to slightly yellow liquid |  | Uses | 2-Methylthiophene, is used as a flavoring agent that naturally occurs in grilled and roasted beef, papaya, cooked shrimp, whiskey, and in trace amounts in roasted chicken; |  | Definition | ChEBI: 2-methylthiophene is a member of the class of thiophenes that is thiophene in which the hydrogen atom at position 2 is substituted by a methyl group. It has a role as a flavouring agent and a Maillard reaction product. It is a member of thiophenes and a volatile organic compound. It is functionally related to a thiophene. |  | Synthesis Reference(s) | The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 14, p. 638, 1949 DOI: 10.1021/jo01156a016 Tetrahedron Letters, 22, p. 2443, 1981 DOI: 10.1016/S0040-4039(01)92928-4 |
