Description

tert-Butylbenzenethiol CAS NO 53584-22-8 is a specialized aromatic thiol compound characterized by a bulky tert-butyl group attached to a benzenethiol core. This structural feature makes it a valuable intermediate and building block in organic synthesis, particularly for introducing sterically hindered thiol functionalities. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the fine chemical and pharmaceutical sectors who require high-purity, consistent raw materials for advanced chemical processes. Its unique properties facilitate the development of novel materials, ligands, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug candidates, particularly where a sterically hindered thiol group is required.
• Ligand Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for creating specialized ligands in catalysis and coordination chemistry.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a chain transfer agent or functional monomer to introduce thiol groups into polymers, altering their physical and chemical properties.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: A key building block for synthesizing complex organic molecules in agrochemicals, dyes, and fragrances.
• Material Science: Employed in the development of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and surface functionalization of materials.
• Crosslinking Agent: Can be used in formulations where thiol-ene click chemistry is applied for creating networks in coatings and adhesives.

Quality Control

Our tert-Butylbenzenethiol is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results are provided with every shipment. We adhere to relevant industry standards and can support development projects requiring specific analytical data or custom purity grades.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizing agents. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be kept in amber glass or opaque packaging during storage.
