Description

3-Methyl-1-butanethiol is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of sulfonic acids. It has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of the formation of sulfonated compounds in urine samples. 3-Methyl-1-butanethiol also possesses a hydroxyl group and chlorine atom, which are responsible for its inhibitory effects on the polymerization initiator. The hydroxyl group is involved in the synthesis of 3-methyl-1-butanol and 3,3′,5′-trimethylhexane by reacting with methanol and ethylene oxide respectively. The chlorine atom acts as a nucleophile in the reaction with sodium chloride to form chloroacetic acid. This chemical compound also contains a divalent magnesium ion that can act as a cocatalyst for polymerization reactions.
