2-Naphthalenemethanethiol, with the CAS number 1076-67-1, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a naphthalene ring system attached to a thiol (-SH) group via a methylene (-CH2-) bridge. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct odor, reminiscent of sulfur compounds. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic naphthalene structure. The thiol functional group imparts notable reactivity, allowing for participation in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and nucleophilic substitution. 2-Naphthalenemethanethiol is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as a building block in the preparation of more complex molecules. Additionally, its unique properties make it of interest in the fields of materials science and pharmaceuticals. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as thiols can be toxic and have strong odors that may be irritating.
