Benzenamine, 4-(butylthio)-, hydrochloride

Description:

Benzenamine, 4-(butylthio)-, hydrochloride, also known as 4-butylthioaniline hydrochloride, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a butylthio group attached to a benzene ring, specifically at the para position relative to the amino group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to the presence of the hydrochloride salt, which enhances its solubility compared to the free base form. The butylthio group contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, while the amino group can participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its reactivity and interaction with other substances. This compound may be used in various applications, including organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, or agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted, as it may pose health risks if not handled properly, including potential irritant effects on skin and eyes. Proper storage and handling procedures are essential to ensure safety in laboratory or industrial settings.
