PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
2-methylthioethanol is a primary alcohol that is the S-methyl derivative of mercaptoethanol. It is found as a volatile component in Cucumis melo Var. cantalupensis. It has a role as a xenobiotic metabolite and a plant metabolite. It is an aliphatic sulfide and a primary alcohol. It is functionally related to a mercaptoethanol.
