Usage

General Description

3-Methylbenzyl mercaptan, also known as 3-(methylthio)toluene, is a sulfur-containing organic compound with the chemical formula C8H10S. It has a strong, unpleasant odor similar to that of skunks, and is commonly used as an odorant in natural gas and propane to give them a distinct smell for safety purposes. It is also used as a flavoring agent and in the production of pharmaceuticals and pesticides. 3-Methylbenzyl mercaptan is highly flammable and is considered a hazardous material, so it must be handled and stored with caution in industrial settings.

Correlation pKa - activitee catalitique des thiols dans la reeaction d'hydrolyse de l'aceetate de p-nitropheenyle

The kinetic study of the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylacetate in the presence of primary thiols indicates the thiolate anion as the sole catalytic species.Comparison of the true second order constants (kRS-) reveals that purely aliphatic primary thiols behave differently from aromatic α-substituted primary thiols.In the latter group a correlation can be established between the true second order rate constants and the pKSH values by means of the Broensted equation log kRS- = βpKSH + C, with β equal to 0.40 and C equal to -0.85.
