Hexadecanethiol

Description:
Hexadecanethiol, with the CAS number 2917-26-2, is a long-chain aliphatic thiol characterized by its straight-chain structure consisting of 16 carbon atoms and a thiol (-SH) functional group. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a relatively high boiling point due to its long hydrocarbon chain. Hexadecanethiol is known for its hydrophobic properties, making it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It exhibits typical thiol reactivity, including the ability to form disulfide bonds and participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Hexadecanethiol is commonly used in various applications, including as a surfactant, in the synthesis of self-assembled monolayers on metal surfaces, and in the production of thiol-terminated polymers. Its long carbon chain contributes to its effectiveness in modifying surface properties and enhancing the stability of colloidal systems. Additionally, hexadecanethiol is utilized in biochemical research and nanotechnology due to its ability to interact with biological molecules and materials.
