4-Phenoxybenzenethiol, also known by its IUPAC name as 4-(phenoxy)benzenethiol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a phenoxy group and a thiol (-SH) functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The thiol group imparts notable reactivity, allowing for potential applications in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of disulfides or as a ligand in coordination chemistry. Additionally, the phenoxy group can enhance the compound's stability and influence its electronic properties. 4-Phenoxybenzenethiol may also exhibit antioxidant properties, making it of interest in various chemical and pharmaceutical applications. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as thiols can be malodorous and may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.

4-PHENOXYTHIOPHENOL

4-Phenoxythiophenol is a pharmacophore that has been shown to inhibit the activity of an enzyme called cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2). This enzyme is involved in the production of inflammatory prostaglandins, which are released by cells in response to injury or infection. 4-Phenoxythiophenol reduces inflammation by inhibiting cPLA2, which prevents the release of prostaglandins. This drug also has analgesic properties, but its mechanism of action is not well understood.
