Description

n-Octadecyl mercaptan, also known as octadecanethiol, is an organic compound with the formula CH3(CH2)17SH. It is a long-chain alkyl thiol that is commonly used as a corrosion inhibitor and antioxidant. n-Octadecyl mercaptan is also used in the production of synthetic lubricants and as a component of some types of plastics. Its synthesis is often accomplished through the reaction of octadecanol with thioacetic acid. Research focuses on its effectiveness as a corrosion inhibitor for metals due to its ability to form protective films on metal surfaces.'
