Description
CLEAR COLOURLESS LIQUID 2-(Methylthio)ethanol has a powerful, meat-like aroma.
colourless to pale yellow liquid; powerful meat-like aroma
2-methylthioethanol is a primary alcohol that is the S-methyl derivative of mercaptoethanol. It is found as a volatile component in Cucumis melo Var. cantalupensis. It has a role as a xenobiotic metabolite and a plant metabolite. It is an aliphatic sulfide and a primary alcohol. It derives from a mercaptoethanol.

2-(Methylthio)ethanol Use and Manufacturing
The sodium methyl mercaptan-anhydrous ethanol solution was heated to boiling, the heating was stopped, and chloroethanol was added dropwise with stirring within 2 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated, cooled and filtered to remove sodium chloride, and the filtrate was fractionated under reduced pressure to collect 68-70°C (2.67kPa) fractions to obtain 2-methylthioethanol with a yield of 74%-82%. Uses: Organic synthesis intermediate.
