3-(Ethylthio)-1-butanol is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a butanol backbone with an ethylthio group at the third carbon position. This compound is classified as a thiol alcohol, featuring both hydroxyl (-OH) and thioether (-S-) functional groups. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, which can be reminiscent of sulfur compounds due to the presence of the ethylthio group. The compound is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water, influenced by the hydrophilic hydroxyl group. Its chemical properties include reactivity typical of alcohols and thiols, allowing for various chemical transformations such as oxidation and substitution reactions. 3-(Ethylthio)-1-butanol may find applications in organic synthesis, fragrance formulation, and as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as thiol compounds can be irritants and may pose health risks if not managed properly.
