General description

2-Phenylethanethiol serves as a building block in organic synthesis to incorporate a thiol functional group into molecules. Structures of 2-phenylethanethiol and its 1:1 water clusters have been studied using resonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy.

Application

2-Phenylethanethiol has been used:
  • in preparation of biicosahedral Au (25) clusters protected with various types of thiol ligands
  • as derivatization reagent for phosphorylated sequences of peptides, for enhancing ionization efficiency in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry
