2,4-dimethylthiophenol

2,4-Dimethylthiophenol2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) is a chlorinated derivative of phenol that has its molecular formula of Cl2C6H3OH. It is a white solid which is slightly acidic (pKa = 7.9). It is produced on a large scale as a precursor to the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D).

2,6-Dimethylbenzenethiol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as thiophenols. Thiophenols are substances that contain a thiophenol ring. This makes a phenol derivative substituting the oxygen atom in the group of hydroxyl (attached with the benzene) with a sulfur atom. 2,6-Dimethylbenzenethiol is a meaty, metallic, and phenolic-tasting compound. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on 2,6-Dimethylbenzenethiol.
