Description

2,4-Dimethylbenzenethiol is a synthetic chemical compound that is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds. This chemical has been shown to act as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor and x-ray absorption agent. It can be found in the form of a white solid with no odour. When heated, it melts at about 147 degrees Celsius and boils at about 248 degrees Celsius. 2,4-Dimethylbenzenethiol has been used in industry for the production of sulfamic acid and piperazine.
2,4-Dimethylbenzenethiol reacts with hydrogen chloride to form an organic thiolate salt and hydrogen gas. The reaction mechanism is shown below:

The first step involves protonation of the sulfur atom by HCl to form HS- ion:

The second step involves deprotonation of one methyl group by HCl to form CH3SH+ ion:

The third step involves pro
