2-[(Phenylmethyl)thio]ethanol

Description:
2-[(Phenylmethyl)thio]ethanol, also known by its CAS number 3878-41-9, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a thiol group (-SH) and an alcohol group (-OH) attached to a two-carbon ethyl chain. This compound features a phenylmethyl (benzyl) group, which contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics and influences its reactivity. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct odor. The presence of both the thiol and alcohol functional groups allows for potential hydrogen bonding, which can affect its solubility in various solvents, making it more soluble in polar solvents. The compound may exhibit moderate to low toxicity, and its reactivity can be influenced by the thiol group, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, 2-[(Phenylmethyl)thio]ethanol may be used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Proper handling and safety precautions are recommended due to its potential reactivity and toxicity.
