(2-methylpyrazinyl-3, -5 and-6) furfuryl sulfide

(2-methylpyrazinyl-3, -5 and-6) furfuryl sulfide is an aroma compound characterized by a roasted coffee-like scent profile. This chemical belongs to the class of sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds, containing a methylated pyrazine ring linked to a furfuryl sulfide moiety. It is identified under several synonymous names reflecting minor structural variations. Although detailed physical properties and molecular identifiers are not fully documented, it can be referenced through controlled vocabulary repositories such as PubChem. The compound is predominantly of interest in flavor chemistry research, supplied or derived through synthetic organic methods rather than natural extraction.

(2-methylpyrazinyl-3, -5 and-6) furfuryl sulfide is not reported as a natural constituent in biological sources or food products. Its main relevance lies in experimental flavor chemistry where a roasted, coffee-like note is desirable. However, this substance is designated for information purposes only and is not used commercially in fragrance or flavor formulations. Regulatory frameworks including FEMA (US) standards mention no authorized usage levels, highlighting its exclusion from approved flavor and fragrance ingredient lists.

This compound features a heterocyclic nitrogen-containing pyrazine ring substituted by a methyl group combined with a furfuryl sulfide substituent. The sulfur atom and aromatic rings contribute to its roasted and roasted coffee-like odor characteristic. Physical data such as boiling point, molecular weight, and solubility remain unreported, limiting direct assessment for formulation applications. Given the lack of comprehensive toxicological or stability information, its physicochemical profile restricts practical usability and encourages cautious handling in experimental settings.
