Octadecanethiol is a long-chain fatty thiol widely used as a surface modifier and chain transfer agent. Synthesized via hydrogenation of olefins followed by sulfidation, its molecular formula is C18H38S (CAS: 112-55-0).
Strictly avoid inhalation; use in well-ventilated areas with appropriate PPE. Store in sealed containers away from oxidizers at ambient temperature to prevent oxidation into disulfides.
