  <name>2-Pentanethiol</name>
  <description>(s)-2-pentanethiol is a member of the class of compounds known as alkylthiols. Alkylthiols are organic compounds containing the thiol functional group linked to an alkyl chain (s)-2-pentanethiol is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). (s)-2-pentanethiol can be found in fruits, which makes (s)-2-pentanethiol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
