Hexyl 2-mercaptoacetate

Description:

Hexyl 2-mercaptoacetate, with the CAS number 20292-01-7, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and a mercapto group. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, often associated with thiols due to the presence of the mercapto group. This compound is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water, reflecting its hydrophobic characteristics. Hexyl 2-mercaptoacetate is known for its applications in the fragrance and flavor industry, where it is used to impart specific scents and tastes. Additionally, it may exhibit antioxidant properties and has potential uses in various chemical syntheses. As with many thiol-containing compounds, it can be sensitive to oxidation and may react with electrophiles. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from light is recommended to maintain its stability and efficacy.
