:2-butanethiol
Description:
2-Butanethiol, also known as sec-butyl mercaptan, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C4H10S. It is classified as a thiol, characterized by the presence of a sulfhydryl (-SH) group. This compound is a colorless liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor reminiscent of rotten cabbage or garlic, which makes it detectable at very low concentrations. 2-Butanethiol is soluble in water and has a relatively low boiling point, typical of small organic thiols. It is flammable and should be handled with care, as it can pose health risks upon inhalation or skin contact. The compound is used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent and in the synthesis of other chemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the thiol group, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation and substitution. Overall, 2-butanethiol is notable for its distinctive odor and its role in both industrial and laboratory settings.
