2,3-Butanedithiol

Description:
2,3-Butanedithiol, with the CAS number 4532-64-3, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of two thiol (-SH) groups attached to a butane backbone. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor reminiscent of rotten cabbage or garlic, which is typical for many thiols. It has a relatively low boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents, but its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the butane chain. 2,3-Butanedithiol is known for its reactivity, particularly in forming disulfides upon oxidation, which can be significant in various chemical reactions and biological processes. It is used in organic synthesis and can serve as a building block in the production of more complex molecules. Additionally, due to its strong odor, it is often studied in the context of olfactory research and may have applications in flavor and fragrance industries. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as thiols can be toxic and irritating to the skin and respiratory system.
