Description
Thioanisole is a chiral organosulfide with a wide range of uses in the chemical, pharmaceutical, flavour and fragrance and food industries. Its use in combination with biocatalysts in immobilised cells eliminates the 2-day preparation phase and results in complete bioconversion of thioanisole within 24 hours. Degradative halogenation of thioanisoles by iodine at temperatures between 100 and 150°C produces diphenyl sulfide, diphenyl disulfide, thianthrene and trimethylsulfonium iodide, as well as small amounts of hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen iodide, iodomethane and dimethyl sulfide.
Chemical Properties
Methyl phenyl sulfide has an unpleasant odor.
Chemical Properties
Colorless to yellow liquid
Occurrence
Reported found in coffee.
Uses
Intermediate, solvent for polymeric systems.
Uses
Thioanisole is used in oxidative biotransformations.
Definition
ChEBI: Thioanisole is an aryl sulfide that is thiophenol in which the hydrogen of the thiol group has been replaced by a methyl group. It is an aryl sulfide and a member of benzenes. It is functionally related to a thiophenol.
