Butanethiol

Description:

Butanethiol, also known as butyl mercaptan, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C4H10S. It is a colorless liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor reminiscent of rotten cabbage or garlic, which makes it easily detectable even at low concentrations. Butanethiol is classified as a thiol, characterized by the presence of a sulfhydryl (-SH) group attached to a butane backbone. It is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water. The compound is flammable and should be handled with care, as it can pose health risks through inhalation or skin contact. Butanethiol is primarily used in the production of various chemicals, as a flavoring agent, and in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. Its strong odor also makes it useful as an odorant for natural gas, helping to detect leaks. Due to its reactivity, butanethiol can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and substitution, making it a versatile compound in organic synthesis.
