Metabolite Identification
Common NamePhenylmethanethiol
DescriptionPhenylmethanethiol, also known as alpha-mercaptotoluene or alpha-toluenethiol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzene and substituted derivatives. These are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene. Phenylmethanethiol is an alliaceous, coffee, and garlic tasting compound. Phenylmethanethiol is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Phenylmethanethiol.
