:2-Methyl-2-butanethiol
Description:
2-Methyl-2-butanethiol, also known as tert-amyl mercaptan, is an organic compound characterized by its thiol functional group (-SH) attached to a branched carbon chain. It has a molecular formula of C5H12S and features a distinctive, strong odor often described as skunky or garlic-like, which makes it useful as an odorant in natural gas to detect leaks. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is relatively soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its boiling point is higher than that of many simple alkanes due to the presence of the sulfur atom, which contributes to its unique properties. 2-Methyl-2-butanethiol is used in various applications, including flavoring agents and as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis. It is important to handle this substance with care, as thiols can be toxic and irritating to the skin and respiratory system. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this compound in laboratory or industrial settings.
