Basic Info
The properties of Benzyl Mercaptan
Benzyl Mercaptan is also known as benzyl mercaptan or alpha mercaptotoluene. Liquid colorless to yellow. The liquid has a scallion-like odor. It easily oxidizes in the air, forming dibenzyldisulfide. Water insoluble, but soluble in alcohol and ether. Toxic. It is irritating and irritating to skin, mucous membranes, and eyes.
Benzyl Mercaptan is mainly used for the synthesis of other compounds with certain activity, such as sulfonamides, scientifically known as O-alkyl-N-alkylthiocarbamates. It is a good flotation agent for sulfide ores, offering advantages like high selectivity, low dosage, foaming capability, and separation of valuable minerals from gangue minerals in low alkali conditions. Benzyl Mercaptan, a non-ionic sulfide collection agent, is used widely in the flotation process of copper, gold and lead ores.
How to make Benzyl Mercaptan
Two of the most common methods are:
1. The catechol method is a reaction of sodium sulfide with catechol to produce Benzyl Mercaptan.
2. Method: Benzyl Mercaptan can be synthesized using benzyl ethanol and sodium hydrosulfide.

application
Benzyl Mercaptan is an organic synthetic intermediate used as a raw material for the pesticide herbicide “Diclofenan”, insecticide “Chlorfenapyr”, fungicide “Ketoconazole”, and other insecticides.
Benzyl Mercaptan is mainly used to synthesize other compounds with certain activity, such as sulfonamides, scientifically known as O-alkyl-N-alkylthioamino acid esters. It is a high-performance sulfide ore flotation agent, which has the advantages of good selectivity, small dosage, foaming ability, and effective separation of valuable minerals and gangue minerals under low alkali conditions compared to conventional sulfide ore collectors such as yellow medicine and black medicine. It is widely used in the flotation of various copper, gold, lead-zinc ores and is a type of non-ionic sulfide ore collector widely used and researched in flotation.
Benzyl Mercaptan can also be surface modified: through the strong binding ability of thiols with metals (gold, silver, etc.), it can be used for self-assembly of monolayers (SAMs) to modify the surface of electrodes or nanoparticles.
Benzyl Mercaptan can be polymer modified: as a chain transfer agent to regulate free radical polymerization, or by introducing thiol groups to improve material properties such as adhesion and oxidation resistance.
Benzyl Mercaptan can also be used in the food and flavor industry. Flavor additive: it can be used to mix meat flavor, garlic flavor and other food essence at very low concentrations (the dosage needs to be strictly controlled, because there is odor at high concentrations).
Aroma precursor: Decomposes or reacts under heating conditions to produce sulfur-containing flavor compounds (such as grilled meat aroma components).
