6-Mercapto-1-hexanol

Description:

6-Mercapto-1-hexanol, with the CAS number 1633-78-9, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a thiol (-SH) functional group and a hydroxyl (-OH) group, making it a member of the class of mercapto alcohols. This compound features a six-carbon straight-chain structure, which contributes to its hydrophilic properties due to the hydroxyl group, while the thiol group imparts distinct reactivity, particularly in forming disulfide bonds and participating in nucleophilic reactions. 6-Mercapto-1-hexanol is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor, and it is soluble in water and organic solvents. Its applications span various fields, including organic synthesis, where it serves as a building block for more complex molecules, and in the development of materials, such as adhesives and coatings, due to its ability to form strong bonds with metals and other surfaces. Additionally, it may exhibit antioxidant properties, making it of interest in biochemical research.

6-Mercapto-1-hexanol is a redox active molecule that has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase. It has also been shown to inhibit the polymerase chain reaction and transfer reactions, including those mediated by DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. 6-Mercapto-1-hexanol can be detected with high sensitivity in human serum, which is its main application for the diagnosis of HIV infection. This compound reacts with molecular oxygen to form superoxide radicals, which are responsible for its redox potential. The rate constant for this reaction has been shown to be dependent on pH and temperature. 6-Mercapto-1-hexanol can also form stable complexes with proteins such as albumin or human immunoglobulin G (IgG). These complexes have been shown to exhibit electrochemical impedance spectroscopy activity at low concentrations and chemical stability in biological media.
