CAS 107-03-9: 1-Propanethiol

1-Propanethiol, is used widely in research areas. This compound has a wide range of applications including cell biology, materials science, nanoscience, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), nanoelectronics, and contact printing. It is also used as a chemical intermediate. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

1-Propanethiol is an activated form of the thiol group that can be used as a redox potential probe. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of resistant mutants, such as those resistant to 5-HT agonists, and to have biological properties in infectious diseases. 1-Propanethiol has also been shown to inhibit transfer reactions and reaction mechanisms, which may be due to its hydrogen bonding interactions or electrochemical properties. The detection sensitivity for 1-propane thiol is low because it is not volatile at room temperature. Solid phase microextraction can be used for sample preparation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for detection.
