Sulfur-Containing Alcohol: 2-Hydroxyethyl n-octyl sulfide (CAS 3547-33-9), also known as 2-(octylthio)ethanol, is an organic compound containing a hydroxyl group and a thioether linkage. Its molecular formula is C₁₀H₂₂OS.

Functional Chemical Structure: The hydroxyl group provides a site for reactions such as esterification, while the thioether group contributes sulfur functionality. These features make it useful as a building block for specialty organic compounds.

Organic Synthesis Applications: The product can serve as an intermediate in chemical synthesis and research. Suitability for specific agrochemical, lubricant, or other specialty formulations should be established through technical evaluation rather than assumed from the product name.

Purchasing Specifications: Buyers should confirm identity, assay, moisture, residual starting materials, and other relevant impurities. Specifications, analytical methods, packaging, and storage requirements should be agreed before ordering.

Handling and Storage: Consult the supplier’s SDS for hazard classification and exposure controls. Avoid inhaling vapors or mist and prevent skin and eye contact. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated location, away from incompatible materials, particularly strong oxidizing agents.
