3-Methyl-2-cyclopentene-1-thione
3-methyl-2-cyclopentene-1-thione is a member of the class of compounds known as thioketones. Thioketones are compounds in which the oxygen of a ketone has been replaced by divalent sulfur R2C=S ( R not H ). Thioketones that have an alpha-hydrogen interconvert with Thioenols. Moreover, they interconvert with thioaldehydes. 3-methyl-2-cyclopentene-1-thione is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). 3-methyl-2-cyclopentene-1-thione can be found in soft-necked garlic, which makes 3-methyl-2-cyclopentene-1-thione a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
