3-Ethyl-3-pentanethiol, with the CAS number 5827-80-5, is an organic compound classified as a thiol, characterized by the presence of a sulfhydryl (-SH) group. It has a molecular formula of C8H18S, indicating that it consists of eight carbon atoms, eighteen hydrogen atoms, and one sulfur atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, distinctive odor, often described as similar to that of garlic or rotten eggs, which is common among thiols. 3-Ethyl-3-pentanethiol is known for its relatively low boiling point and moderate solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents. It is primarily used in the synthesis of various chemical compounds and may also serve as a flavoring agent or odorant in certain applications. Due to its strong odor, it is often utilized as a warning agent in natural gas. As with many thiols, it can be reactive, particularly in the presence of oxidizing agents, and should be handled with care to avoid exposure.

<p>3-Ethylpentane-3-thiol is a hydroperoxide that is formed by the photolysis of 2,2,5,5-tetramethylcyclobutane-1,3-dione. It has been shown to cyclize to form 3-(2-benzothiazolyl)-2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridinium perchlorate and 3-(2-benzothiazolyl)-2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridinium chloride. The transannular reaction of 3-ethylpentane-3-thiol with thiohydroxamate produces 2-(4'-hydroxybutoxy)benzothiazole. This product can then react with an alkyne to produce a radical.</p>
