Description

1-tert-Butyl-1H-imidazole-2-thiol is a halogenated aromatic compound that is used as a solvent, a ligand in organometallic chemistry, and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds. This chemical has been shown to undergo halide exchange reactions with metal ions such as magnesium chloride, aluminum chloride, and zinc chloride. It also has been shown to react with carboxylates to form 1-tert-butyl-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylate. The bond cleavage of the thiol group can be induced by reaction with iodosobenzene diacetate or hydrochloric acid. 1-tert-Butyl-1H-imidazole-2-thiol is soluble in ethers and benzene. The molecule has two thiol groups that can undergo disulfide bond formation, which may be catalyzed by copper(
