Butane-1-thiol, also known as butyl mercaptan, is an organosulfur compound with the formula Template:Chem2. It is classified as a thiol. It is a volatile, colorless liquid with a fetid (extremely foul-smelling) odor, commonly described as "skunk" odor. In fact, 1-butanethiol is structurally similar to several constituents of a skunk's defensive spray but is not present in the spray.[4] The scent of 1-butanethiol is so strong that the human nose can easily detect it in the air at concentrations as low as 10 parts per billion. The threshold level for 1-butanethiol is reported as 1.4 ppb[5]

Uses

Butane-1-thiol is used as an industrial solvent,Script error: No such module "Unsubst". and as an intermediate for cotton defoliants.[6] It is sometimes placed in "stink bombs" and "stink perfumes" for pranksters.

Safety

Inhalation may cause weakness, confusion, cough, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, nausea, vomiting, and shortness of breath. The substance irritates the eyes, the skin, and the respiratory tract. It may cause effects on the thyroid and the nervous system and could cause lowering of consciousness.[7]
