- 2-Thiophenethiol, 5-methyl-
5-Methylthiophene-2-thiol is a mercaptan with a thiol group at the 5 position. The sulfur atom in the thiol group is electron deficient and can serve as an electron donor. This compound has been used in food chemistry to make a diacetyl-free butter flavor. It has also been studied for its ability to inhibit the expansion of polystyrene foam. Mercaptans are found in fossil fuels, but are also produced synthetically by alkylation of hydrocarbons with hydrogen sulfide. The term "mercaptan" was coined by combining the words "mercury" and "sulfur."
Mercaptans are functionally important because they have both an alkylthio group and a mercapto group, which allow them to act as both an acid and an alcohol. 5-Methylthiophene-2-thiol can be used for many applications such as detergents, textile d
