:Hexanoic acid, 6-mercapto-, methyl ester
Description:
Hexanoic acid, 6-mercapto-, methyl ester, with the CAS number 20756-86-9, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from hexanoic acid and a mercapto group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hexyl chain. The presence of the mercapto group (-SH) imparts unique reactivity, making it susceptible to oxidation and capable of forming disulfide bonds under certain conditions. Hexanoic acid, 6-mercapto-, methyl ester is often utilized in various applications, including as a flavoring agent, in the synthesis of other chemical compounds, and in research settings for its potential biological activities. Its properties, such as boiling point and density, are influenced by the molecular structure, which includes both the long hydrocarbon chain and the functional groups. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.

Methyl 6-sulfanylhexanoate
CAS:Methyl 6-sulfanylhexanoate (MSH) is a diphenylacetylene derivative that has been shown to be able to form a chemical bond with gold nanoparticles. MSH can be synthesized by the reaction of sulfur, ammonia, and methyl alcohol in an ionic liquid, followed by phase transfer catalytic reduction. This compound has been shown to act as a functional group for the synthesis of amides and sulfides. MSH also has the ability to absorb infrared light due to its thiolate functional group. In addition, MSH is able to function as a hydrogen-bonding donor or acceptor in chemical reactions, which can be useful for sensors or indicator compounds.Formula:C7H14O2SPurity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:162.25 g/mol
