CAS 83009-94-3
:Pentanoic acid, 5-mercapto-, methyl ester
Description:
Pentanoic acid, 5-mercapto-, methyl ester, with the CAS number 83009-94-3, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a carboxylic acid and a thiol functional group. This compound features a five-carbon alkyl chain (pentanoic acid) with a mercapto group (-SH) located at the fifth carbon, and it is esterified with methanol, resulting in a methyl ester. The presence of the thiol group imparts distinctive properties, such as a strong, often unpleasant odor, and potential reactivity with various electrophiles. The compound is likely to be soluble in organic solvents due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain, while the polar ester and thiol groups may contribute to some degree of solubility in polar solvents. Pentanoic acid derivatives are often used in the synthesis of various chemical intermediates, fragrances, and as potential bioactive compounds. Safety considerations should be taken into account due to the reactivity of thiols and the potential for irritation upon exposure.
