Octadecanthiol, also known as 1-octadecanethiol, is a long-chain aliphatic thiol used primarily in surface modification and polymer synthesis. The molecular formula is C18H38S with CAS No. 112-55-0. It is typically produced via the reaction of octadecanol with hydrogen sulfide or thiourea under catalytic conditions.
Storage requires sealed containers in cool, dry, and well-ventilated areas away from oxidizers. Personnel must wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection due to potential skin irritation and corrosive properties.
