Description

Bis(tert-Butylsulfanyl)Methane CAS NO 4345-98-6 is a specialized organosulfur compound featuring two tert-butylthio groups bonded to a central methylene unit. This structure makes it a valuable intermediate and ligand in advanced chemical synthesis and materials science. It is primarily sought by research and development teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and polymer industries for applications requiring specific sulfur-based reactivity or as a building block for complex molecules.

Application

• As a key sulfur-containing intermediate in the synthesis of novel pharmaceuticals and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Utilized as a ligand or precursor in the development of catalysts for organic transformations and polymerization reactions.
• Employed in agrochemical research for creating new fungicides, herbicides, or plant growth regulators.
• Serves as a building block for high-performance polymers and specialty materials with tailored properties.
• Used in organic synthesis laboratories for introducing the tert-butylthio protecting group or functional moiety.
• Applied in material science research, particularly in the development of self-assembled monolayers or surface modifiers.
