Key Applications and Uses
Despite its foul smell, this property is precisely what makes it useful in several applications:
- Odorant for Natural Gas and LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas): This is its primary industrial use. Natural gas and propane are naturally odorless. A tiny, non-toxic concentration of 3-Methyl-2-butanethiol (or a mixture of thiols and sulfides) is added to serve as a warning agent. Its powerful smell allows people to detect potentially dangerous gas leaks easily.
- Chemical Intermediate: Used in organic synthesis for the introduction of the thiyl group or as a building block for more complex sulfur-containing compounds.
- Component in "Skunk" Spray: The defensive spray of skunks contains several thiols and thioacetates. While the primary culprits are simpler thiols, various branched-chain thiols like 3-Methyl-2-butanethiol can contribute to the complex and long-lasting odor.
