Benzyl mercaptan

Description:

Benzyl mercaptan, also known as benzyl thiol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a thiol (-SH) functional group attached to a benzyl group. Its molecular formula is C7H8S, and it has a distinct, strong odor reminiscent of garlic or skunk, which makes it useful as an odorant in various applications. The compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Benzyl mercaptan is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, due to the presence of the thiol group, which can participate in various chemical transformations. It is used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as a flavoring agent in the food industry. However, it should be handled with care, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper safety measures should be taken when working with this compound to mitigate any potential health risks.

Benzyl Mercaptan - 96%

CAS: 100-53-8

Benzyl mercaptan is a thiol that is used in analytical chemistry as a fluorescence probe. It has been used to detect and quantify the presence of other thiols, such as cysteine, glutathione, and homocysteine. Benzyl Mercaptan has also been used in the study of conformational properties of proteins and peptides. This compound reacts with the isothiouronium salt in an intramolecular hydrogen transfer reaction that leads to the formation of benzyl sulfide, which then undergoes a trifluoroacetic acid-catalyzed reaction to form benzyl disulfide. The resulting benzyl disulfide molecule can be detected using UV/VIS spectroscopy or by using a fluorescence probe.
