4-Aminothiophenol is used in the synthesis of pectin-4-aminothiophenol conjugates and it forms self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) in the development of DNA. It is used in the detection of thrombin by protein recognition using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), which finds applications in silver and gold nano particles. It acts as a linker to thiol (SH) functionalizes multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.

4-Aminothiophenol

4-Aminothiophenol is a redox potential probe that is used as an analytical chemistry reagent. It has been shown to react with nitrite ion and form a nitrogen atom, which can be detected by Raman spectroscopy. 4-Aminothiophenol has also been used to measure the amount of fatty acid in human serum samples. 4-Aminothiophenol has been shown to have an enhancement effect on the detection sensitivity of model system reactions and can be used as a model system for these reactions. The reaction mechanism for this compound is not well understood, but it is believed that it may involve electron transfer from the aminothiophenol radical cation to the nitrite ion.
