About 1-Butanethiol (109-79-5) (C4h10s)
1Butanethiol (CAS 109795), also known as butyl mercaptan, is a volatile organosulfur compound with the formula C4H10S. It is a colourless liquid characterised by an intense, skunklike odour. Industrially, it serves as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of sulfur compounds and specialised materials. Its pungent odour makes it valuable as an odorant in natural gas, helping detect leaks for safety. In laboratories, it is used as a reagent in organic synthesis and as a sensor. Applications extend to polymer studies, gas sensor calibration, and safety markers in pipelines, highlighting its importance despite its unpleasant smell
