3-(trifluoromethylbenzyl)mercaptan

Description:
3-(Trifluoromethylbenzyl)mercaptan, with the CAS number 25697-55-6, is an organosulfur compound characterized by the presence of a thiol (-SH) functional group attached to a benzyl moiety that is further substituted with a trifluoromethyl group. This compound typically exhibits a strong, distinctive odor due to the thiol group, which is known for its pungent smell. The trifluoromethyl group contributes to the compound's unique chemical properties, including increased lipophilicity and potential reactivity in various chemical reactions. It is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. The presence of fluorine atoms can enhance the stability and bioactivity of the compound. As with many thiols, 3-(trifluoromethylbenzyl)mercaptan may be sensitive to oxidation, leading to the formation of disulfides or other oxidized products. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance due to its potential toxicity and reactivity.
