Introduction
Quality:
- Appearance: Propyl mercaptan is a colorless liquid.
- Odor: Pungent and strong foul-smelling odor.
- Density: 0.841g/mLat 25°C(lit.)
- Boiling Point: 67-68°C(lit.)
- Solubility: Propanol is able to dissolve in water.
Use:
- Chemical synthesis: Propyl mercaptan is widely used in organic synthesis reactions, and can be used as a reducing agent, catalyst, solvent and synthesis intermediate.
Method:
- Industrial method: Propylene mercaptan is usually obtained by synthesizing hydropropyl alcohol. In this process, propanol reacts with sulfur in the presence of a catalyst to form propylene mercaptan.
- Laboratory method: Propanol can be synthesized in the laboratory, or propyl mercaptan can be prepared by the reaction of hydrogen sulfide and propylene.
Safety Information:
- Toxicity: Propyl mercaptan is somewhat toxic, and inhalation or exposure to propyl mercaptan may cause irritation, burns, and respiratory problems.
- Safe Handling: When using propyl mercaptan, always wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and protective clothing and maintain a well-ventilated environment.
- Storage Caution: When storing propyl mercaptan, keep away from fire sources and oxidants, and keep the container tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dry place.
