Ethanethiol, 2-(methylsulfonyl)-

Description:

Ethanethiol, 2-(methylsulfonyl)-, also known by its CAS number 24517-45-1, is an organosulfur compound characterized by the presence of both a thiol (-SH) group and a methylsulfonyl (-SO2CH3) functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor reminiscent of rotten cabbage or garlic, which is common among thiols. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the polar nature of the sulfonyl group. The presence of the thiol group imparts reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and nucleophilic substitution. Additionally, ethanethiol, 2-(methylsulfonyl)- may have applications in organic synthesis and as a potential intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this substance, as thiols can be toxic and irritating to the skin and respiratory system.
