2-Methyl benzene thiol

It was observed that 2-methyl benzene thiol suppresses the hydrogen adsorption on platinum and iron. 1,2-Ethanedithiol and 2,2 -(ethylenedioxy)diethanethiol adsorb strongly on platinum electrodes, suppress the adsorption of hydrogen from water, and also resist oxidative degradation. However, iron electrodes only show a five to ten times increase in polarization resistance and five to ten times reduction in double-layer capacitance. Therefore, 1,2-eth-anedithiol and 2,2 -(ethylenedioxy)diethanethiol are considered as promising additives for improving the charge efficiency of the iron electrode (106). 

Reactions of 4,7-phenanthroline-5,6-dione have been the subject of considerable study. It is reduced to 5,6-dihydroxy-4,7-phenanthroline by Raney nickel hydrogenation226,249 or by aromatic thiols in benzene,262 and oxidized by permanganate to 3,3 -bipyridyl-2,2 -dicarboxylic acid.263 It forms bishemiketals with alcohols226 and diepoxides with diazomethane.226 The diepoxides by reaction with hydrochloric acid form diols of type 57, R = Cl, which on oxidation with lead tetraacetate give 3,3 -bipyridyl diketones of type 58, R = Cl. Methyl ketones of type 58, R = H, are also obtained by lead(IV) acetate oxidation of the diol 57, R = H, obtained by lithium aluminum hydride reduction of 57, R = Cl. With phenyldiazomethane and diphenyldiazomethane the dione forms 1,3-dioxole derivatives,264,265 which readily hydrolyze back to the dione with concomitant formation of benzaldehyde and benzophenone, respectively. 

Polyfunctional thiols in wine can be determined also by synthesis of their pentafluorobenzyl derivatives (Mateo-Vivaracho et al., 2007). A volume of 6mL of wine is extracted for 15 min at low temperature (<10°C) using 1.5mL of benzene containing 4-methoxy-a-toluenethiol as an internal standard for 2-methyl-3-furanthiol (MF), 2-furfurylthiol as an internal standard for 2-furanmethanethiol (EFT), 3-MHA and...
