1-Methylethyl 3-mercaptopropanoate

Description:

1-Methylethyl 3-mercaptopropanoate, also known by its CAS number 7383-64-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both ester and thiol functional groups. It features a propanoate backbone with a mercapto group (-SH) attached to the third carbon, which imparts distinct reactivity and properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor, often associated with sulfur-containing compounds. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chains. The presence of the mercapto group makes it prone to oxidation and can lead to the formation of disulfides under certain conditions. 1-Methylethyl 3-mercaptopropanoate is used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent, in the synthesis of other chemical compounds, and in research settings to study thiol reactivity. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and proper storage conditions are necessary to maintain its stability.
