| 3-Mercapto-2-methylpenta-1-ol Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | 3-Mercapto-2-methylpentan-1-ol (racemic) is a highly odorous mercaptan with an onion or leek-like aroma. Flavor
quality was reported to strongly depend on concentration. | | Occurrence | Reportedly present in onion. | | Preparation | Prepared by a highly diastereoselective aldol reaction using a chiral auxiliary process with further derivatization yielding
the enantiopure compound. | | Aroma threshold values | At low concentrations (0.5 ppb), a pleasant, meat-broth, sweaty, onion and leek-like odor can be perceived. |
