MemberDefinitionClass
2,5-dimethylfuranA member of the class of furans that is furan in which the hydrogens at positions 2 and 5 are replaced by methyl groups.2,5-dimethylfuran
ethyl formateA formate ester resulting from the formal condensation of formic acid with ethanol.ethyl formate
ethylene dibromideA bromoalkane that is ethane carrying bromo substituents at positions 1 and 2. It is produced by marine algae.1,2-dibromoethane
methyl formateA formate ester resulting from the formal condensation of formic acid with methanol. A low-boiling (31.5 degreeC) colourless, flammable liquid, it has been used as a fumigant and larvicide for tobacco and food crops.methyl formate
methyl isothiocyanateAn isothiocyanate having a methyl group attached to the nitrogen. It is also the active nematicide of the pronematicide metam-sodium.methyl isothiocyanate
