Definition
ChEBI:Propane-1-thiol is an alkanethiol that is propane substituted by a thiol group at position 1. It has a role as a plant metabolite.
Air & Water Reactions
Highly flammable.
Reactivity Profile
propane-1-thiol are flammable, moderately toxic liquid, stench. Explosive in the form of vapor when exposed to heat, flame or sparks. When heated to decomposition propane-1-thiol emits toxic fumes of oxides of sulfur. Violent reaction and flash fire on contact with calcium hypochlorite [Stephenson, F. G., Chem. Eng. News, 1973, 51(26), p. 14].
Health Hazard
May cause toxic effects if inhaled or absorbed through skin. Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
Fire Hazard
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water.
