3-Sulfanylbutan-1-ol, also known as 3-mercapto-1-butanol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a thiol (-SH) group and an alcohol (-OH) group on a four-carbon chain. Its molecular structure features a butanol backbone with the thiol group located at the third carbon, which contributes to its distinctive odor and reactivity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, sulfurous smell, often associated with garlic or onion. It is soluble in water due to the hydroxyl group, while the thiol group can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and formation of disulfides. 3-Sulfanylbutan-1-ol is used in the food industry as a flavoring agent and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Its properties make it of interest in both organic chemistry and biochemistry, particularly in studies related to sulfur-containing compounds and their biological activities. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance due to its strong odor and potential irritant properties.
