Ferf-Butanethiol

In all cases, the oxidation rate was smallest for experiments involving thiophenol and ferf-butanethiol. The oxygen uptake vs. time curves for cobalt-catalyzed reactions showed an initial high slope followed by a decrease in slope after ca. 30% reaction to a final steady value.

Three isomers of butyl mercaptan (BYOO-til mer-KAP-tan) exist. Isomers are two or more forms of a chemical compound with the same molecular formula, but different structural formulas and different chemical and physical properties. The names and synonyms of the isomers are n-butyl mercaptan, known as l-hutanethiol, i-mercapto-butane, or n-butyl thioalcohol -butyl mercaptan, called 2-butanethiol or i-methyl-i-propanethiol and ferf-butyl mercaptan, also known as 2-methyl-2-propanethiol. The isomers have slightly different expanded chemical formulas n-butyl mercaptan, CH3CH2CH2CH2SH -butyl mercaptan, CH3CH2CH(SH)CH3 and ferf-butyl mercaptan, CH3C(CH3)(SH)CH3. The isomers have vastly differing melting points n-butyl mercaptan, —115.67 (—i76.2i°F) -butyl mercaptan,... 

Hydrogen-transfer Reagent in Radical Reactions. Thiols, in particular tertiary mercaptans such as tert-butanethiol and triethylmethanethiol, have been widely used in radical reactions to trap radical intermediates by hydrogen atom transfer. ferf-Dodecanethiol is a vahd substitute for those mercaptans, since it is cheap, relatively odorless compared to the other alkanethiols, and generally equally efficient with respect to the hydrogen donor properties.
