Pentachlorobenzenethiol is a chemical compound from the group of thiols and organochlorine compounds.^[1] The chemical formula is C
₆HCl
₅S.^[2]

Synthesis[]

Pentachlorobenzenethiol can be obtained from hexachlorobenzene.^[3]

Properties[]

Pentachlorobenzenethiol is a combustible gray solid with an unpleasant odor, practically insoluble in water. It has a monoclinic crystal structure.^[4] The compound is not well-biodegradable and presumably bioaccumulable and toxic for aquatic organisms. Pentachlorobenzenethiol is itself a metabolite of hexachlorobenzene and is found in the urine and the excretions of animals receiving hexachlorobenzene.^[5] Pentachlorobenzenethiol has a high potential for long-range transport via air as it is very slowly degraded in atmosphere.^[6]

Applications[]

Pentachlorobenzenethiol is used in the rubber industry. The compound is added to rubber (both natural and synthetic) to facilitate processing (mastication).
