Isopropyl mercaptan explained

Isopropyl mercaptan is a thiol with the formula C3H8S. It is a water-white liquid with an extremely pungent odor resembling skunk spray or rotten eggs. The pungent smell allows it to be used as an odorizer.[1] The FDA has approved it for use as a food additive for its flavor.[2] Another use is as a rubber additive.[3]
