1,10-Decanedithiol is a thiol compound that is used as a reagent in organic synthesis. It can be synthesized by the reaction of 1,2-ethanedithiol and decanethiol. The compound has been shown to have photocatalytic activity in the presence of light, with its ability to produce hydrogen peroxide and other reactive oxygen species increasing with an increase in light intensity. 1,10-Decanedithiol has also been found to be a potent agonist of the 5-HT1A receptor and can be used as a low detection tool for this receptor. It also has high affinity for immobilized receptors, which allows it to serve as a linker molecule. This chemical has been shown to have specific interactions with other molecules like DNA or RNA.
