3-Methylthiophene

Hello, young readers! Today, it's time to learn about a compound, or chemical if you will, known as benzyl benzoate (or as we'll learn, 3MT) that is unlike anything else coming to these shores. This chemical belongs to a larger group known as thiophenes. Thiophenes stand out because they are organic, so they are derived from living things. They are special with a cool ring kind of shape. Thiophenes are found in nature, particularly in plants. Thiophenes are also used in factories when people are making important products that we use every day.

3MT is a fairly clear liquid, and such has a very distinctive smell that some find interesting... It floats rather than dissolving because it does not mix well with water. One thing to note is that 3MT can ignite quite quickly, so you need to handle it with care. Here are 3 cool facts about 3MT that are worth learning about.

The Significance of 3-Methylthiophene in Chemical Synthesis

This property of being able to bind with different molecules insures that 3MT can serve as the precursor to many types of chemicals. For instance, it can be used to make pesticides — they protect plant from bugs — medicines that make you feel better when sick to colors used in dyes for things like clothing. Working on 3MT, scientists are always looking for exciting and innovative new uses, and creating new compounds, for 3MT that can help in all areas.

What is really cool about polymers is that they can be made in lots of different ways, which gives them diverse properties. For instance, there are some polymers that we can make with 3MT that can be transformed into flexible plastics that you will find in many common products, such as bottles and bags. Other polymers created from 3MT have applications in electronics: they can be found in solar cells, which harness sunlight to produce power, and bright, energy-efficient LED lights.
