Introduction of 2-Mercaptopyridine (C?H?NS) is an organosulfur compound with a pyridine ring and a thiol (-SH) group at the 2-position. A yellow crystalline solid with a sulfurous odor, it is soluble in organic solvents but poorly in water. Its weakly acidic thiol (pKa ~4.5–5) enables metal coordination, forming stable complexes with transition metals (e.g., Cu, Ni), making it valuable in catalysis and material science. Used as a ligand, synthetic intermediate in pharmaceuticals, and biochemical protein modifier. Toxic and irritant, it requires careful handling (gloves, ventilation). Distinct from 4-mercaptopyridine and its sodium salt (enhanced solubility). Avoid confusion with antifungal 2-mercaptopyridine N-oxide.

Application of Here's a detailed overview of 2-Mercaptopyridine:

Chemical Classification:

Organosulfur compound with a pyridine ring and a thiol (-SH) group at the 2-position.

Chemical Formula: C5H5NSC5?H5?NS.

CAS Number: 2637-34-5.

Other Names: 2-Pyridinethiol, 2-Thiopyridine.

Key Properties:

1. Physical State:

Yellow to off-white crystalline solid.

Distinctive sulfur-like odor (common for thiols).

2. Solubility:

Soluble in organic solvents (ethanol, DMSO, chloroform).

Poor solubility in water.

3. Acidity:

Weakly acidic (pKa ~4.5–5.0 for the thiol group).

4. Reactivity:

Forms stable metal complexes (via S and N donor atoms).

Undergoes oxidation to disulfides or alkylation reactions.

Applications:

1. Coordination Chemistry:

Ligand for transition metals (e.g., Cu, Ni, Co) in catalysis or material science.

Used to synthesize metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) or catalysts.

2. Organic Synthesis:

Building block for pharmaceuticals (e.g., antiviral or anticancer agents).

Intermediate in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds.

3. Analytical Chemistry:

Chelating agent for metal ion detection or extraction.

4. Biochemistry:

Modifies proteins/enzymes by reacting with cysteine residues.

Safety & Handling:

Hazards:

Toxic if ingested/inhaled.

Causes skin/eye irritation.

Releases toxic fumes (e.g., SOx?) upon combustion.

Precautions:

Use gloves, goggles, and fume hood.

Store in a cool, dry place away from oxidizers.

Disposal: Treat as hazardous waste.

Key Notes:

Its sodium salt (2-mercaptopyridine sodium salt) is more water-soluble and used in biochemical assays.

Contrast with 4-mercaptopyridine (thiol at the 4-position), which has different coordination behavior.

Avoid confusion with 2-mercaptopyridine N-oxide (a distinct antifungal/antibacterial agent).
