Thiophenol

Product Description

Thiophenol (Code: 06235) is a high-purity, colorless to pale yellow liquid with an intense, unpleasant odor characteristic of sulfur compounds. It is an aromatic organosulfur compound containing a phenyl group bonded to a thiol (-SH) group, giving it strong nucleophilic and reducing properties.

Widely used as a reagent, intermediate, and reducing agent in organic synthesis, Thiophenol plays a vital role in pharmaceutical research, polymer chemistry, and materials science. Its reactive thiol functionality makes it valuable for producing thioethers, mercaptans, and metal complexes in both laboratory and industrial settings.
