1-Pentanethiol
1-Pentanethiol, also known as n-pentanethiol or pentyl mercaptan, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H12S. It belongs to the class of thiols, which are sulfur-containing organic compounds with a characteristic foul odor often resembling that of rotten eggs.
Here’s a brief description of some of its properties and uses:
Chemical Structure: 1-Pentanethiol consists of a pentyl group (a straight-chain alkyl group with five carbon atoms) bonded to a sulfhydryl (-SH) group, which is responsible for its characteristic odor.

Physical Properties: 1-Pentanethiol
- It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature.
- It has a strong, disagreeable odor similar to that of rotten cabbage or garlic.
- It is moderately soluble in water and miscible with organic solvents.
- Like many thiols, It has a strong and unpleasant odor, making it useful as an odorant in certain applications, such as in natural gas, where its smell helps in detecting gas leaks.
