CAS 19542-77-9: Benzylmercapturic acid
Description:Benzylmercapturic acid is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of mercapturic acids, which are conjugates of mercapturic acid and various electrophiles. It is formed through the metabolism of benzyl chloride and other benzyl derivatives, typically in the liver, where it plays a role in detoxification processes. The compound is characterized by its mercaptan functional group, which imparts thiol properties, making it reactive and capable of forming disulfides. Benzylmercapturic acid is often studied in the context of environmental health, particularly as a biomarker for exposure to benzyl compounds, which can be found in various industrial applications and consumer products. Its molecular structure includes a benzyl group attached to a mercapturic acid moiety, contributing to its solubility in biological fluids. The compound is generally considered to have low volatility and is not classified as a persistent organic pollutant. Understanding its characteristics is essential for assessing potential health risks associated with exposure to benzyl-containing substances.
