4-Chlorobenzyl mercaptan

Description:

4-Chlorobenzyl mercaptan, with the CAS number 6258-66-8, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a chlorobenzyl group and a thiol functional group. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor, typical of mercaptans. The compound is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring substituted with a chlorine atom at the para position and a mercaptan (-SH) group, which contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. 4-Chlorobenzyl mercaptan is known for its use in the synthesis of various chemical intermediates and may also exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. However, like many thiols, it can be toxic and should be handled with care, ensuring proper safety measures are in place during its use and storage.
