4-[(1,1-Dimethylethyl)thio]butanoic acid

Description:

4-[(1,1-Dimethylethyl)thio]butanoic acid, also known by its CAS number 929-07-7, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a butanoic acid backbone with a thioether functional group. This compound features a tert-butyl group (1,1-dimethylethyl) attached to a sulfur atom, which is further connected to the butanoic acid chain. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. The presence of the thioether group imparts unique chemical properties, including potential reactivity in nucleophilic substitution reactions. This compound is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the hydrophobic tert-butyl group and the polar carboxylic acid functional group. It may be used in various applications, including as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis or in the formulation of specialty chemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
