The odor of EtSH is infamous. Ethanethiol is more volatile than ethanol due to a diminished ability to engage in hydrogen bonding. Ethanethiol is toxic in high concentrations. 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 ...
A human olfactory receptor, OR2T11, has been identified which, in the presence of copper, is highly responsive to the gas odorants (see below) ethanethiol and t-butyl mercaptan as well as other low molecular weight thiols, including allyl mercaptan found in human garlic breath, and the strong-smelling cyclic sulfide thietane.

Diethyl sulfide is a by-product of the commercial production of ethanethiol, which is prepared by the reaction of ethylene with hydrogen sulfide over an alumina-based catalyst. The amount of diethyl sulfide produced can be controlled by varying the ratio of hydrogen sulfide to ethylene.
Cylinder of methanethiol gas. Methanethiol is mainly used to produce the essential amino acid methionine, which is used as a dietary component in poultry and animal feed. [10] Methanethiol is also used in the plastic industry as a moderator for free-radical polymerizations [10] and as a precursor in the manufacture of pesticides.
Because of its smell, tetrahydrothiophene has been used as an odorant in LPG, [3] albeit no longer in North America. It is also used as an odorant for natural gas, usually in mixtures containing tert-butylthiol. Tetrahydrothiophene is a Lewis base classified as a soft base and its donor properties are discussed in the ECW model.
Toxicity may be due to metabolism products hydrogen sulfide and acetaldehyde, however as used it has a margin of safety of over 10,000,000. [2] Other ways that it is modified in the body apart from hydrolysis is methylation to 1-methylsulfanyl-ethanethiol, oxidation of the sulfur to an ethyl sulfonate, glucuronidation of the sulfur, or ...
1,2-Ethanedithiol has been used as a scavenger in peptide cleavage synthesis. [citation needed] Like 1,3-propanedithiol, 1,2-ethanedithiol readily forms metal thiolate complexes. Illustrative is the synthesis of the derivative diiron ethanedithiolate hexacarbonyl upon reaction with triiron dodecacarbonyl: [5]
