Description
3-Methylsulfanylaniline (CAS No. 1783-81-9) is a high-purity aromatic amine derivative with the molecular formula C7H9NS. This compound, also known as 3-(Methylthio)aniline, features a methylthio (–SCH3) group at the meta position relative to the amino (–NH2) substituent on the benzene ring. Its unique structure makes it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. The product is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic amine odor, and its purity is rigorously controlled to meet the demands of research and industrial applications. Proper handling under inert conditions is recommended due to its sensitivity to air and moisture.
