Ethanethiol, commonly known as ethyl mercaptan, is an organosulfur compound with the formula CH3CH2SH. It is a colorless liquid with a distinct odor. Abbreviated EtSH, it consists of an ethyl group (Et), CH3CH2, attached to a thiol group, SH. Its structure parallels that of ethanol, but with sulfur in place of oxygen. The odor of EtSH is infamous. Ethanethiol is more volatile than ethanol due to a diminished ability to engage in hydrogen bonding. Ethanethiol is toxic in high concentrations. It occurs naturally as a minor component of petroleum, and may be added to otherwise odorless gaseous products such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to help warn of gas leaks. At these concentrations, ethanethiol is not harmful.
Ethyl Mercaptan (EM) is a niche yet strategically important chemical, primarily used as an odorant in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), accounting for the majority of global demand. Its growth is closely tied to rising LPG consumption in emerging markets, particularly Asia-Pacific, driven by urbanization and clean cooking initiatives. While mature markets like North America and Europe show stable or slightly declining demand due to alternative odorants and stricter environmental norms, regions like Latin America and Africa offer untapped potential. Key challenges include EM’s high flammability, odor nuisance, and a concentrated supplier base, which create logistical and regulatory pressures.
