2-Chlorobenzyl mercaptan

Description:
2-Chlorobenzyl mercaptan, with the CAS number 17733-22-1, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a chlorobenzyl group and a thiol (mercaptan) functional group. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor reminiscent of garlic or rotten eggs, which is common among thiols. The compound is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic characteristics. 2-Chlorobenzyl mercaptan is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, owing to the presence of the thiol group, which can form disulfides or react with electrophiles. It is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, due to its strong odor, it may also be utilized as a warning agent in gas detection systems. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
