Sodium 2-propanethiolate is an intermediate used in synthesis to produce thiol esters and ethers. In addition, Sodium 2-propanethiolate can be used to synthesize polymercapto-arenes from polyhalides through poly(isopropyl thio ethers). With its white crystalline form, it readily dissolves in water while emitting a potent odor. This compound serves as a valuable reducing agent in a wide range of chemical reactions.
