6-Methylheptyl 2-mercaptoacetate

Description:
6-Methylheptyl 2-mercaptoacetate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from mercaptoacetic acid and 6-methylheptanol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain. The presence of the mercapto group (-SH) imparts unique reactivity, making it susceptible to oxidation and other chemical transformations. This compound is often used in the synthesis of various chemical intermediates and may also find applications in the fragrance and flavor industry due to its odor profile. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, which can be of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials is recommended to maintain its stability and integrity.
