Basic Information
Product Name: 1-Thioglycerol
Chemical Formula: C3H8OS
Molecular Weight: 92.16 g/mol
CAS Number: 96-27-5
Appearance:Colorless to pale yellow liquid; may darken on exposure to air.
Odor:Characteristic strong, pungent sulfurous (rotten egg-like) odor.
Physical State:Liquid at room temperature.
Solubility:Miscible with water, ethanol, and most polar organic solvents (due to the polar hydroxyl and thiol groups).
Boiling Point:~140-143°C (at 15 mmHg, decomposed under normal pressure).
Melting Point:~-40°C (est.).
Applications
Organic Synthesis:
Thiol Source: A versatile reagent for introducing thiol groups into organic molecules (e.g., in the synthesis of thioethers, thioesters, or thiocarbamates).
Protecting Group: Sometimes used as a masked thiol in synthesis (e.g., via acetylation of the hydroxyl group to avoid interference).
Biochemistry and Pharmaceuticals:
Reductant: Acts as a mild reducing agent in biochemical systems (e.g., maintaining thiol groups in their reduced state in proteins).
Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, such as antiviral or anticancer agents containing thiol moieties.
Polymer Chemistry:
Chain Transfer Agent: In radical polymerization reactions to control molecular weight and polymer structure (e.g., in the production of acrylic or vinyl polymers).
Crosslinking Agent: Can form disulfide bonds with other thiol-containing polymers, enabling crosslinking.
Electronics and Coatings:
Surface Modification: Adsorbs onto metal surfaces (e.g., gold, silver) via thiol groups, used in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) for nanotechnology or sensor fabrication.
Oil and Gas Industry:
Corrosion Inhibitor: Thiol groups can bind to metal surfaces, preventing corrosion in pipelines or equipment.
Safety and Handling
Toxicity:
Moderately toxic by ingestion and skin contact; may cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract.
The odor provides a strong warning, but prolonged exposure should be avoided.
Safety Precautions:
Use in a well-ventilated fume hood to avoid inhaling vapors.
Wear protective gloves (e.g., nitrile), goggles, and a lab coat.
Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents (may cause fire or explosion).
Storage:
Store in airtight containers at room temperature, away from light and heat.
Keep away from oxidants and moisture (may oxidize slowly in air).
