3-Methyl-2-butanethiol Usage And Synthesis

Description

3-Methyl-2-butanethiol has a repulsive, characteristic mercaptanlike odor. Prepared from isoamyl chloride and potassium sulfhydrate; also the corresponding sodium salt can be prepared from diisopentyl-disulfide and sodium metal in liquid ammonia.

Chemical Properties

3-Methyl-1-butanethiol has a repulsive, characteristic mercaptan-like odor.

Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid; offensive odor.Insoluble in water; soluble in organic solvents.

Occurrence

Reported found in cooked beef.

Uses

Polymerization modifier, insecticide intermediate, vulcanization accelerator intermediate, nonionic surface-active agent.

Preparation

From isoamyl chloride and potassium sulfhydrate; also, the corresponding sodium salt can be prepared from diisopentyldisulfide and sodium metal in liquid ammonia.

Definition

ChEBI: 3-Methyl-2-butanethiol is an alkanethiol.

Hazard

Flammable, dangerous fire risk.
