CAS 1569-69-3

Cyclohexanethiol

Description:

Cyclohexanethiol, with the CAS number 1569-69-3, is an organic compound characterized by a cyclohexane ring bonded to a thiol (-SH) functional group. This colorless to pale yellow liquid has a distinctive odor reminiscent of garlic or onion, typical of thiols. It is slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic cyclohexane structure. Cyclohexanethiol exhibits moderate volatility and can be flammable, necessitating careful handling. The compound is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, and can participate in various chemical transformations, including oxidation to form disulfides. Its unique properties make it useful in organic synthesis and as a building block in the production of more complex molecules. Additionally, cyclohexanethiol can be employed in the study of olfactory responses due to its strong odor, contributing to research in sensory biology. Safety precautions are essential when working with this compound, as thiols can be toxic and irritating to the skin and respiratory system.
