Prenylthiol（CAS#5287-45-6）

Introduction

Isopentenyl thiol is an organic compound. Its properties are as follows:

1. Appearance: Prenyl mercaptans are colorless or yellowish liquids with a special thienol odor.

2. Solubility: Isopentenyl mercaptans are soluble in alcohols, ethers, esters and most organic solvents, but almost insoluble in water.

3. Stability: At room temperature, prenyl mercaptans are relatively stable, but they will decompose under high temperature, strong acid and strong alkali conditions.

The main uses of prenyl mercaptans are as follows:

1. Organic synthesis: As an intermediate in organic synthesis, it is used to prepare different classes of organic compounds, such as esters, ethers, ketones and acyl compounds.

2. Spice industry: used as flavor and spice additives to give products a special rice flavor smell.

There are several ways to prepare isopentenyl thiols, common ones include:

1. It is obtained from the reaction of pentadiene chloride and sodium hydrosulfide.

2. It is formed by direct reaction of isopretenol with sulfur elements.

1. Isopretenyl mercaptans are irritating and should be avoided in direct contact with skin and eyes. Protective gloves and goggles should be worn when using.

2. Avoid contact with strong oxidants, strong acids and strong alkalis to avoid dangerous reactions.

3. Store in an airtight container to avoid exposure to air to prevent volatilization and loss of activity.

4. Use in a well-ventilated environment and avoid inhaling isoprenyl mercaptan vapors.
