Ethanethiol-d (8CI,9CI), also known as ethanethiol-d, is a deuterated form of ethanethiol, which is a simple thiol compound characterized by the presence of a sulfur atom bonded to a carbon chain. Its molecular formula is C2H6S, with deuterium isotopes replacing certain hydrogen atoms, which enhances its utility in various analytical applications, particularly in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor reminiscent of rotten cabbage or garlic, which is characteristic of thiols. It is soluble in organic solvents and has a relatively low boiling point. Due to its strong odor, ethanethiol-d is often used as an odorant in natural gas to detect leaks. In addition to its applications in the chemical industry, it serves as a valuable tracer in biochemical research and studies involving metabolic pathways. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as thiols can be toxic and irritating to the skin and respiratory system.
