Ethyl Mercaptan
Ethyl mercaptan is a clear liquid with a distinct odor. It is an organosulfur compound with the formula CH3CH2SH. Abbreviated EtSH, it consists of an ethyl group (Et), CH3CH2, attached to a thiol group, SH. Its structure parallels that of ethanol, but with S instead of O. The odor of EtSH is infamous. Ethyl mercaptan is more volatile than ethanol due to a diminished ability to engage in hydrogen bonding. Ethyl mercaptan is toxic. It occurs naturally as a minor component of petroleum, and may be added to otherwise odorless gaseous products such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to help warn of gas leaks. At these concentrations, ethyl mercaptan is not harmful.
