CAS 19552-10-4: (4-Bromobenzyl)mercaptan

(4-Bromophenyl)methanethiol

4-Bromobenzyl mercaptan is a reactive chemical that has been used for covalent immobilization of nitro groups and thiols. It is also used in the synthesis of organic compounds, such as pharmaceuticals and pesticides. 4-Bromobenzyl mercaptan is toxic to animals and humans, although it is less toxic than many other chemicals. 4-Bromobenzyl mercaptan can be modified by adding lysine residues or other functional groups to make it more stable and less reactive. This modification prevents the molecule from forming crosslinks with proteins or nucleic acids.
