  <name>2-(Methylthio)benzothiazole</name>
  <description>2-(methylthio)benzothiazole, also known as mtbt, is a member of the class of compounds known as benzothiazoles. Benzothiazoles are organic compounds containing a benzene fused to a thiazole ring (a five-membered ring with four carbon atoms, one nitrogen atom and one sulfur atom). 2-(methylthio)benzothiazole is practically insoluble (in water) and a moderately basic compound (based on its pKa). 2-(methylthio)benzothiazole can be found in guava, which makes 2-(methylthio)benzothiazole a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.</description>
