Tert-Hexadecanethiol, also known as 2-hexadecanethiol, is an organic compound characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain and a thiol functional group (-SH). It belongs to the class of alkanethiols, which are sulfur-containing organic compounds. The structure consists of a hexadecane backbone, which is a saturated fatty acid chain with 16 carbon atoms, and a thiol group attached to the second carbon. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Tert-Hexadecanethiol is known for its applications in surface chemistry, particularly in the modification of surfaces and the synthesis of self-assembled monolayers. Additionally, it can be used in the production of various chemical intermediates and in the formulation of lubricants and surfactants. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as thiols can be irritating to the skin and respiratory system.

Tert-Hexadecyl mercaptan is a peroxide with an activation energy of 16.6 kcal/mol. It can be found in devices such as polyvinyl, which is used as a transfer agent for high molecular weight mercaptans. Tert-Hexadecyl mercaptan is also used to modify polydimethylsiloxane and copolymerization with polystyrene in order to create onchocerca, which is a worm that causes phthalic acid.
