Talk:Tert-Butylthiol

"flavoring agent?"
"This thiol is used as a flavoring agent, as an odorant for natural gas (which is odorless)..."

I have to ask. A flavoring agent for WHAT? Because, ew. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.41.40.24 (talk) 15:57, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
 * The perception of odor and taste can be very different for low concentrations of a chemical compound than for higher concentrations. I have smelled grapefruit mercaptan (a thiol like tert-butylthiol) before and found it to be very unpleasant, but I like the smell and taste of grapefruit.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:41, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
 * We already have flavour descriptions for some thiols (t-BuSH among them), incidentally. Double sharp (talk) 10:16, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

Nomenclature
I think that alkylthiol naming (tert-butylthiol) is rather wrong and should not be used as the main name (OK is: alkyl mercaptane, alkyl hydrogen sulfide, alkanethiol). (I am not talking about preferred IUPAC name, which is clearly defined.) —Mykhal (talk) 19:55, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Refining nomenclature is probably not worth the pain of dealing vs fixing factual information. Also, I am pretty sure most chemists (who mainly control the Chem Project) call Me3CSH tert-butylthiol or tert-butylmercaptan.--Smokefoot (talk) 22:01, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
