Allyl methyl sulfide

Allyl methyl sulfide (AMS) is an organosulfur compound with the chemical formula CH2=CHCH2SCH3. The molecule features two functional groups, an allyl (CH2=CHCH2) and a sulfide. It is a colourless liquid with a strong odor characteristic of alkyl sulfides. It is a metabolite of garlic, and 'garlic breath' is attributed to its presence.
