2,3-Dimercaptopropane, with the CAS number 814-67-5, is an organosulfur compound characterized by the presence of two thiol (-SH) groups attached to a three-carbon propane backbone. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor, typical of thiols. It is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for various applications. The presence of the thiol groups imparts significant reactivity, allowing it to participate in redox reactions and form metal complexes, which is particularly useful in chelation therapy for heavy metal detoxification. Additionally, 2,3-Dimercaptopropane can be used in organic synthesis and as a reagent in chemical reactions. Due to its potential toxicity and strong odor, handling requires appropriate safety precautions. Its chemical structure contributes to its properties, including a relatively low boiling point and high reactivity, making it an important compound in both industrial and research settings.
