CAS 59293-67-3: 2,4-Dichlorobenzenemethanethiol

2,4-Dichlorobenzenemethanethiol

2,4-Dichlorobenzyl mercaptan is a synthetic chemical that belongs to the group of l1210 murine leukemia. It has been shown to induce cellular transformation in mouse cells by binding to DNA in the acidic region of the duplexes and interacting with guanosine subunits. 2,4-Dichlorobenzyl mercaptan is synthesized on a solid-phase support and strategies for its synthesis have been developed. The compound can be used for a variety of purposes such as for inducing mutations in dna duplexes or for studying the mechanism of action of anticancer drugs that act by binding to DNA.
