:2-Mercaptopropanol
Description:
2-Mercaptopropanol, also known as thiol or mercapto alcohol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a thiol (-SH) group and a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to a three-carbon chain. Its molecular formula is C3H8OS, and it is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor reminiscent of rotten eggs due to the sulfur content. This compound is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile in various applications. 2-Mercaptopropanol is primarily used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, as a reducing agent in chemical reactions, and in the production of various thiol derivatives. It exhibits properties such as being a nucleophile, which allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, including the formation of disulfides. Additionally, it can act as a stabilizer for certain metal ions and is utilized in biochemical research for its ability to protect against oxidative stress. Due to its sulfur content, it is also important in the study of biochemical pathways involving thiols.
