CAS 7309-44-6

1-(Ethylthio)hexane

Description:

1-(Ethylthio)hexane, with the CAS number 7309-44-6, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a hexane backbone with an ethylthio group (-S-ethyl) attached to the first carbon. This compound is classified as a thioether, which is a type of sulfur-containing organic compound. Its molecular structure contributes to its properties, including a relatively low boiling point compared to more complex organic compounds, and it is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. 1-(Ethylthio)hexane is expected to exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents and low solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. The presence of the ethylthio group can influence its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. Additionally, it may have applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
