S-Methyl thioacetate is the organosulfur compound with the formula CH3C(O)SCH3. This colorless, malodorous liquid is found in many plant species. In its pure form it has an unpleasant sulfurous smell, but when highly diluted and along with other simple alkyl thioacetates and related compounds, it is an important component of the odor and flavour profile of some foods, including Camembert cheese,[1][2] yogurt,[3] and baijiu.[4]
