3-Pyridineethanethiol(9CI)

Description:
3-Pyridineethanethiol, also known by its CAS number 556825-56-0, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a pyridine ring and a thiol functional group. This compound features a three-carbon chain (ethane) connecting the pyridine nitrogen to a thiol (-SH) group, which imparts distinct chemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor, characteristic of thiols. The presence of the thiol group makes it a polar molecule, contributing to its solubility in polar solvents like water and alcohols. 3-Pyridineethanethiol can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and substitution reactions, due to the reactivity of the thiol group. It is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as a building block in the development of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Additionally, its unique structure allows it to interact with biological systems, which may be of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as thiols can be toxic and have strong odors.
