1,2-benzenedimethanethiol

Description:

1,2-Benzenedimethanethiol, also known as o-benzenedimethanethiol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of two thiol (-SH) groups attached to a benzene ring at the 1 and 2 positions. This compound is a member of the thiol family, which are known for their distinctive odors and reactivity due to the presence of sulfur. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a strong, unpleasant odor reminiscent of rotten eggs or garlic. The presence of the thiol groups imparts significant reactivity, allowing for various chemical transformations, including oxidation to disulfides. 1,2-Benzenedimethanethiol is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is used in various applications, including as a building block in organic synthesis and potentially in the development of pharmaceuticals. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound due to its toxicity and potential environmental impact.
