Description:3,5-Dichlorobenzenethiol, with the CAS number 17231-94-6, is an organosulfur compound characterized by the presence of a thiol (-SH) group attached to a benzene ring that has two chlorine substituents at the 3 and 5 positions. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its distinct odor, which is often described as sulfurous or similar to that of rotten eggs. 3,5-Dichlorobenzenethiol is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of chlorine atoms enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including as an intermediate in the production of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, it exhibits potential biological activity, which may warrant further investigation in medicinal chemistry. As with many organosulfur compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental impact.
