CAS 15084-61-4: 3-tert-butylbenzenethiol

Description: 3-tert-Butylbenzenethiol, with the CAS number 15084-61-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a thiol (-SH) functional group attached to a benzene ring that also features a tert-butyl group at the meta position. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct odor, typical of thiols, which can be quite strong and unpleasant. It is relatively soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic tert-butyl group. The presence of the thiol group imparts certain reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation to form disulfides or reactions with electrophiles. 3-tert-Butylbenzenethiol is utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as a building block in the production of more complex molecules. Additionally, its unique structure and properties make it of interest in materials science and potentially in the development of functionalized surfaces or sensors. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound due to its potential toxicity and strong odor.
