It seems to be the formula for grapefruit mercaptan

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapefruit_mercap tan

Pink grapefruit possibly ??
Slaney, Sorry, that appears to be a totally different chemical.

fordward, 'Para-1-methene-8-thiol' is only part of a chemical name and as far as I understand it, is meaningless on its own.
Agree not the full chemical name gen2, but seems to be a shortened alternative.

My apologies slaney you are one step ahead of me.

There is a mistype in the question and a letter N has been missed out. The chemical name should be:

para-1-menthene-8-thiol

This is indeed another name for grapefruit mercaptan.
More about it here:

Unfortunately you will see there that it is a colourless clear liquid.
Presuming methene is a mis-spelling of menthene..which may not be the case !
It has to be a spelling mistake.

para-1-methene-8-thiol is meaningless as a chemical name

para-1-menthene-8-thiol is a genuine chemical that exists and is also known as grapefruit mercaptan (amongst others) The Wikipedia entry is in error.
