Introduction
Benzyl mercaptan is an organic compound, and the following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of benzyl mercaptan:
Quality:
1. Appearance and odor: Benzyl mercaptan is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a corrosive odor similar to that of a corrosive odor.
2. Solubility: It is soluble in organic solvents such as ether and alcohol, and slightly soluble in water.
3. Stability: Benzyl mercaptan is relatively stable to oxygen, acids and alkalis, but is easily oxidized during storage and heating.
Use:
As a raw material for chemical synthesis: benzyl mercaptan can be used in organic synthesis reactions, such as as as a reducing agent, sulfiding agent and reagent in organic synthesis.
Method:
There are several ways to prepare benzyl mercaptan, and here are two of the commonly used methods:
1. Catechol method: catechol and sodium sulfide are reacted to generate benzyl mercaptan.
2. Benzyl alcohol method: Benzyl mercaptan is synthesized by reacting benzyl alcohol with sodium hydrosulfide.
Safety Information:
1. Irritating effect on the skin and eyes: Benzyl mercaptan can cause irritation and redness when it comes into contact with the skin. If it comes into contact with the eyes, it can cause burns.
2. Avoid oxidation during transportation and storage: Benzyl mercaptan is a compound that oxidizes easily and spoils easily when exposed to air or oxygen. Exposure to air needs to be avoided during transportation and storage.
