4-tert-Butylthiophenol（Cat No.:R070245）is an aromatic thiol featuring a tert-butyl group at the para (4) position of a phenyl ring and a thiol (-SH) group at the 1-position. This compound combines the nucleophilicity of the thiol group with the steric bulk and electron-donating effect of the tert-butyl substituent. It is commonly used in the synthesis of organosulfur compounds, metal-binding ligands, and as a modifier in surface chemistry, especially for forming self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold surfaces. Its structure also makes it useful in organic electronics, catalysis, and materials science applications.
