CAS 870-23-5: Allyl mercaptan
Description:Allyl mercaptan, also known as 2-propen-1-thiol, is an organic compound characterized by its distinctive thiol functional group (-SH) attached to an allyl group (C3H5). It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, pungent odor reminiscent of garlic or onion, which makes it easily detectable even at low concentrations. The compound is soluble in water and organic solvents, reflecting its polar nature due to the thiol group. Allyl mercaptan has a relatively low boiling point and is volatile, which contributes to its strong odor. It is primarily used in the synthesis of various chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, and serves as a flavoring agent in the food industry. Additionally, it is utilized in the production of rubber and plastics. Due to its reactivity, particularly with oxidizing agents, proper handling and storage are essential to prevent hazardous situations. As with many thiols, allyl mercaptan can be toxic and irritating, necessitating safety precautions during use.
