2-Octanol, 1-mercapto-2-methyl-

Description:

2-Octanol, 1-mercapto-2-methyl- (CAS 88224-82-2) is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes an octanol backbone with a mercapto (thiol) group and a methyl substituent. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, often associated with sulfur-containing compounds. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic octanol chain. The presence of the thiol group imparts unique reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation and substitution. Additionally, 2-Octanol, 1-mercapto-2-methyl- may exhibit properties typical of alcohols and thiols, including hydrogen bonding capabilities and potential for forming disulfide bonds under oxidative conditions. Its applications may span across fields such as fragrance formulation, chemical synthesis, and possibly as a reagent in organic chemistry. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as thiols can be malodorous and may pose health risks upon exposure.
