CAS 1191-08-8: 1,4-Butanedithiol

Description: 1,4-Butanedithiol, with the CAS number 1191-08-8, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of two thiol (-SH) groups attached to a four-carbon butane chain. This dithiol is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor reminiscent of rotten cabbage, which is typical of thiols. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits low solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. The compound is known for its reactivity, particularly in forming disulfides upon oxidation, which can be significant in various chemical reactions and applications. 1,4-Butanedithiol is utilized in organic synthesis, as a building block in the production of polymers, and in the formulation of certain fragrances. Additionally, it has applications in the field of materials science and as a ligand in coordination chemistry. Due to its strong odor and potential toxicity, proper handling and safety precautions are essential when working with this substance.
