2-Methyl-2-heptanethiol is an organosulfide organic compound, a straw-colored liquid with a strong, obnoxious odor. [1] Also known as tert-octyl mercaptan, tert-octanethiol and 2,4,4-Trimethyl-2-pentanethiol. [2]

It is used as a lubricant additive and in polymer modification. [1] The chemical is one of the tertiary aliphatic mercaptans (thiols) synthesized from petroleum, as described in a 1950 paper. Initial research postulated they could be used as lubricant additives, ore flotation collectors, vulcanization accelerators, fungicides, and nonionic detergents. [3]
