What does 2-Methyl-3-(methylthio)pyrazine smell like?

Roasted nutty pyrazine carrying an unmistakable sulfury edge, reading as fried hazelnut and roasted almond over toasted popcorn and a coffee-caramel background. The sulfur-pyrazine hybrid: threshold sits in the low ppb, so it belongs at trace in coffee, popcorn and roasted-nut gourmands where a plain pyrazine smells flat.

Every regulatory join - IFRA, GHS, allergens - is by CAS number, and a material can supply one through its constituents as well as its own row, so of the 569 materials carrying no CAS number the 244 without a constituent table are the ones that return "nothing known" rather than "nothing applies". The blotter hours are sourced rather than measured by us, and the app labels every one of them an estimate. There is no physical chemistry on a row: no molecular weight, no vapour pressure, no boiling point. The longer answer, or the whole catalog counted.
