Chemical Structure

Basic Info
Cas: 38462-22-5 Thiomenthone (C₁₀H₁₈S) is a sulfur-containing monoterpene ketone compound characterized by the replacement of the carbonyl oxygen atom in the thiomenthone skeleton by the sulfur atom in its molecular structure. The introduction of thiocarbonyl group (C=S) significantly changes the electron distribution and spatial configuration of the compound, giving it stronger polar properties and unique optical activity than the parent menthol. It is usually a colorless to yellowish liquid with a pungent odor characteristic of sulfur-containing compounds.
From the perspective of chemical raw material properties, the C=S bond length (about 1.61 A) of sulfur omenthone is significantly longer than that of C=O bond, and the bond energy is reduced (about 477 kJ/mol), resulting in the improvement of its electrophilicity and reactivity. The main chain of dimethylcyclohexane in the molecule makes it have a certain steric effect, which makes it show special regional selectivity in nucleophilic addition reaction. This compound is sensitive to light and air and needs to be kept at low temperatures in an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidative degradation.

Product Packaging
1. Fragrance and flavor industry
Thiomenthone has a strong sulfur flavor, diffusion lasting, often used in the production of special flavors, such as meat flavor, onion garlic flavor, tropical fruit flavor. Its sulfur-containing structure can extend the fragrance retention time of spices, and is used as a flavor enhancer in food, beverage, tobacco and other industries.
2. Synthesis of drugs and bioactive molecules
Thiocarbonyl (C=S) can be used as a pharmacophore in drug molecular design to produce anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant compounds. Its terpenoid skeleton can improve the lipid solubility and bioavailability of drugs and may be used to create targeted drug delivery systems or drug precursors.
3. Organic synthesis and catalytic chemistry
Because of the high reactivity of the C=S bond, thiomenthone can be used as an electrophilic reagent for heterocyclic synthesis (like thiazole derivatives) or as a ligand-modified transition metal catalyst to increase the selectivity of asymmetric synthesis reactions.
4. Agriculture and pest control
Thiomenthone has antibacterial or insecticidal properties, and sulfur menthone or its derivatives can be used to make environmentally friendly pesticides, such as storage insecticides or crop fungicides.
5. Functional Materials and Surface Science
The sulfur atom in thiomenthone can form coordination connections with the surfaces of metals such as silver and gold. Additionally, it can be applied to self-assembled monolayers (SAM), sensor nanomaterial modification, and anti-corrosion coating technology.
