  • Applications

    2,6-Dimethylbenzenethiolate (CAS number: ) is the aryl thiolate derived from 2,6-dimethylbenzenethiol. It is commonly used as a nucleophilic building block for C–S bond formation in organic synthesis, enabling the introduction of aryl thioether functionalities. It can serve as a ligand in organometallic complexes used in catalytic processes (e.g., palladium- or copper-catalyzed reactions). It also acts as a surface-modifying agent for metal nanoparticles and as a component for self-assembled monolayers on gold, aiding dispersion, adhesion, and surface functionalization for electronics and corrosion protection. It is an intermediate in polymer and coating formulations to impart thiol functionality. And it may be used as a stabilizer for metal nanoparticles in solution or formulations, improving stability and preventing aggregation.
