6-methylthiohexyl isothiocyanate Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

Pale yellow liquid; penetrating radish-like aroma

Occurrence

Reported found in horseradish

Uses

1-Isothiocyanato-6-(methylsulfenyl)-hexane is an analogue of Erucin (M330763), a non-competitive antagonists of the aryl hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor.

Definition

ChEBI: 1-isothiocyanato-6-(methylsulfanyl)hexane is a isothiocyanate that is hexane in which two of the terminal methyl hydrogens at positions 1 and 6 have been replaced by isothiocyanato and methylsulfanyl groups. It has a role as an Arabidopsis thaliana metabolite, an antineoplastic agent, an EC 4.1.1.17 (ornithine decarboxylase) inhibitor and a neuroprotective agent. It is an isothiocyanate and a methyl sulfide. It derives from a hydride of a hexane.

Aroma threshold values

High strength odor; recommend smelling in a 0.01% solution or less.
