3-Methylbenzothiophene is an important heterocyclic compound used as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis and organic electronics. It has a characteristic aromatic odor with a boiling point of 243°C (lit.) and melting point of -40°C. The liquid exhibits a density of 1.106 g/mL at 25°C and refractive index of 1.6240. As a building block for conjugated systems, it's widely applied in OLED materials and charge-transporting compounds. Storage should be in cool, well-ventilated areas away from oxidizers. Safety precautions include wearing gloves and eye protection due to its flammability (Flash point: 104°C) and potential skin/eye irritation.
