Application

Benzyl mercaptan can be used as:
  • A nucleophilic reagent in the cleavage of proanthocyanidins into their constitutive subunits.
  • A reactant in the synthesis of dithiocarboxylic esters in the presence of phosphorus pentasulfide as a catalyst.
  • A modifier to functionalize the surface of CNT for enhanced interaction with Pt-nanoparticles.
