3-METHYLTHIOBUTANOL - Introduction
3-methyl-1-butanol (Isobutyl mercaptan) is an organic sulfur compound with the chemical formula C4H10S. It has a pungent odor and is a flammable, volatile liquid.
3-METHYL-1-BUTANETHIOL is mainly used in industry as a raw material in the fields of preservatives, medicine and cosmetics. Its strong and unpleasant odor enables it to be used as an odor agent in natural gas in order to detect gas leaks. In addition, 3-methyl-1-butanol can also be used to formulate food flavors, rubber and plastic additives.
The production process of 3-methyl-1-butanol is usually carried out by industrial synthesis. A common preparation method is to react butanol with hydrogen sulfide to produce 3-METHYL-1-BUTANETHIOL.
It should be noted that 3-METHYL-1-BUTANETHIOL is a toxic substance and has an irritating effect on the skin and eyes. Inhalation of high concentrations of 3-METHYL-1-BUTANETHIOL may cause respiratory tract irritation and poisoning. Therefore, when using 3-METHYL-1-BUTANETHIOL, appropriate protective measures should be taken to ensure that the workplace is well ventilated and avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of accidental contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
