'''Allyl methyl sulfide''' (AMS) is an [[organosulfur compound]] with the [[chemical formula]] CH<sub>2</sub>CHCH<sub>2</sub>SCH<sub>3</sub>. The molecule features two [[functional group]]s, an [[allyl]] (CH<sub>2</sub>CHCH<sub>2</sub>-) and a [[thioether]]. It is a colourless liquid with a strong odor characteristic of alkyl thioethers.
