A chemical compound also known as acetaldehyde, containing an ethane backbone with a thiol (sulfur-hydrogen) group and an aldehyde (carbon-oxygen) group.
From ethane + thio- (sulfur) + -al (aldehyde functional group). This systematic chemical naming combines roots to describe the molecular structure and functional groups present.
Ethanethial is a hybrid molecule that brings together two different reactive groups—making it useful in laboratory synthesis but also potentially unstable, like having two explosive ingredients forced together in one container.
