Introduction
2-Phenylthioethanol is also known as phenylthiol. The following is an introduction to its properties, uses, manufacturing methods and safety information:
Quality:
- Appearance: 2-Phenylthioethanol is a colorless liquid with a special sulfur-sand odor.
Use:
- 2-Phenylthioethanol is an important reagent in organic synthesis and is commonly used in ester acidolysis and dehydroxylation reactions.
- It can be used as a raw material in organic synthesis for the preparation of other organic sulfides.
- 2-Phenylthioethanol is also used as an additive in rubber antioxidants, adhesives, etc.
Method:
- The preparation of 2-benzene thioethanol can be obtained by the reaction of benzene sulfur chloride and ethanol. During the reaction, benzene sulfur chloride reacts with ethanol to form benzene mercaptan.
Safety Information:
- 2-Phenylthioethanol has a pungent odor and may have an irritating effect on the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Avoid contact with skin and eyes when using it, and pay attention to good ventilation.
- 2-Phenylthioethanol is a flammable liquid and should be avoided from contact with ignition sources and heated operations.
- Safe chemical handling protocols need to be followed during storage and handling, and stored in a safe place to prevent leaks and accidents.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, glasses, and protective clothing when using or handling 2-phenylthioethanol. After accidental contact, rinse with water immediately and seek medical attention promptly.
