octane-1,8-dithiol

Description:

Octane-1,8-dithiol, with the CAS number 1191-62-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of two thiol (-SH) functional groups located at the terminal positions of an octane chain. This structure imparts unique properties to the compound, including its potential for forming disulfide bonds upon oxidation, which can influence its reactivity and stability. Octane-1,8-dithiol is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkane chain. The compound is of interest in various fields, including organic synthesis and materials science, where it may serve as a building block for more complex molecules or as a ligand in coordination chemistry. Additionally, its thiol groups can participate in various chemical reactions, making it a valuable compound in the development of functional materials and in the study of biochemical processes involving thiols. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as thiols can be toxic and have strong odors.
