2-(Methylthio)ethanol

Description:

2-(Methylthio)ethanol, also known as methanethiol ethanol or 2-(methylthio)ethanol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a thiol and an alcohol functional group. Its molecular formula is C3H8OS, indicating it contains three carbon atoms, eight hydrogen atoms, one sulfur atom, and one oxygen atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor reminiscent of rotten cabbage or garlic, which is characteristic of thiols. It is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for various applications. 2-(Methylthio)ethanol is primarily used in the synthesis of other chemicals and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, due to its strong odor, it can serve as a warning agent in natural gas. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage and handling procedures should be followed to minimize exposure and ensure safety.
