Research Summary

Methyl mercaptan, also known as methanethiol, is a volatile organic compound with the chemical formula CH3SH. It is a colorless gas with a highly pungent, unpleasant odor—reminiscent of rotten cabbage or garlic. Methyl mercaptan occurs naturally as a byproduct of biological processes, such as the decay of organic matter and the metabolism of certain microorganisms. It is also produced industrially for various purposes. Methyl mercaptan is commonly used as an odorant in natural gas, propane, and other fuel gases to provide a distinctive smell for safety purposes. This odorization allows the detection of gas leaks, as methyl mercaptan’s strong smell alerts individuals to the presence of potentially dangerous gas. Additionally, methyl mercaptan serves as a building block for the synthesis of various chemical compounds, including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and flavors. However, methyl mercaptan should be handled with caution, as it is flammable, toxic, and can cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system.
