Phenol, 3-(methylthio)-, also known as 3-methylthio-phenol, is an organic compound characterized by a phenolic structure with a methylthio group (-S-CH3) attached to the aromatic ring at the meta position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It possesses a distinct odor and is soluble in organic solvents while exhibiting limited solubility in water. The presence of the methylthio group imparts unique chemical properties, including potential reactivity in electrophilic substitution reactions and the ability to participate in various organic synthesis processes. Phenol derivatives, including this compound, are often used in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety considerations include handling it with care due to its potential irritant properties and environmental impact.
