5-Chloro-2-methylbenzenethiol

Description:
5-Chloro-2-methylbenzenethiol, also known as 5-chloro-2-methylthiophenol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a thiol (-SH) functional group attached to a chlorinated aromatic ring. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring substituted with a chlorine atom at the 5-position and a methyl group at the 2-position, contributing to its unique chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct odor, indicative of thiols. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic nature. 5-Chloro-2-methylbenzenethiol can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and oxidation, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as thiols can be toxic and have strong odors. Proper storage and handling in a well-ventilated area are recommended to minimize exposure.
