3-Mercapto-3-methylhexan-1-ol

Description:

3-Mercapto-3-methylhexan-1-ol, with the CAS number 307964-23-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a thiol (-SH) group and an alcohol (-OH) group. This compound features a six-carbon chain with a methyl group at the third carbon position, contributing to its branched structure. The thiol group imparts distinctive properties, including a strong, often unpleasant odor, which is typical of many mercaptans. This compound is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in polar solvents due to the hydroxyl group. Its reactivity is influenced by both the thiol and alcohol functional groups, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation and substitution. 3-Mercapto-3-methylhexan-1-ol may find applications in the synthesis of other chemicals, as well as in the fragrance industry due to its unique odor profile. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as thiols can be toxic and irritating to the skin and respiratory system.
