Decane-l-thiol

While the combination of currentless and electrodeposition has been reported for different metals such as Pd [41, 179], Pt [196] and Rh [197] on mercaptopyridine SAMs, the scheme has also been applied to thiol-terminated SAMs by Qu and Uosaki [180,198]. Using dithiol SAMs of 1,4-benzenedimethanethiol (HSCH2QH4CH2SH, BDMT) and hexanedithiol (HS(CH2)6SH, HOT) on Au(l 11), Pt and Au were deposited. Interestingly, by adsorbing another thiol, namely decane thiol, onto a deposited Au metal layer, a bilayer was formed, which also demonstrates the potential of this scheme for accessing the third dimension. 

Analysis of grapefruit juice [71] gave high OAV for 4-mercapto-4-methylpentan-2-one (MMP), ethyl (S)-2-methylbutanoate, (Z)-3-hexenal, ethyl butanoate, decanal, ethyl methylpropanoate and l-p-menthen-8-thiol (MTO, probably the R-enantiomer). The aroma of a solution containing 19 odorants in the levels found in grapefmits was very similar to the natural aroma of this fmit [71 ].
