Tetrahydrothiophene (also known as thiophane,
tetramethylene sulfide, and thiolane) is a
heterocyclic organic compound consisting of a five-membered ring containing four
carbon atoms and a
sulfur atom. It is the
saturated analog of
thiophene. It is a volatile, clear, colorless liquid with a strong unpleasant
odor.
Because of its smell, tetrahydrothiophene is occasionally used as an
odorant in
natural gas, in place of the more common
ethanethiol. It is also used as a
solvent, as an
insecticide, and as a
moth repellant. It is an intermediate in the preparation of the solvent
sulfolane, which is produced by the
oxidation of tetrahydrothiophene. It is also used as an
electrolyte for
lithium batteries.
As an odorant, it has numerous advantages against ethanethiol. It isn't corrosive to the gas pipes and valves, it doesn't cause habitual desactivation of sense of smell, and it doesn't cause irritant responses of coughing, tears, and headache. It is regarded to be an ideal gas indicator in use.
