2-(Butylthio)ethanol

Description:
2-(Butylthio)ethanol, with the CAS number 5331-37-3, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a butylthio group attached to an ethanol backbone. This compound features a sulfur atom bonded to a butyl group, which contributes to its unique properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct odor, indicative of its sulfur content. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group in its structure makes it a primary alcohol, which can participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its solubility in polar solvents like water. 2-(Butylthio)ethanol is often used in various chemical syntheses and may serve as a reagent or intermediate in organic chemistry. Its thiol group can also impart reactivity, making it useful in the formation of disulfides or in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may be irritating to the skin and eyes, and proper storage conditions should be maintained to prevent degradation.
