:(2E)-but-2-ene-1-thiol
Description:
(2E)-but-2-ene-1-thiol, also known as 2-butene-1-thiol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a double bond and a thiol functional group. It features a four-carbon chain with a double bond between the second and third carbon atoms, and a thiol (-SH) group attached to the first carbon. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor, reminiscent of garlic or rotten cabbage, which is common among thiols. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. The presence of the thiol group imparts unique reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation and substitution. Additionally, (2E)-but-2-ene-1-thiol can be used in organic synthesis and may serve as a building block for more complex molecules. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as thiols can be toxic and have strong odors that may cause irritation.
