Ethanethiol, commonly known as ethyl mercaptan, is an organosulfur compound with the formula CH3CH2SH. is a colorless liquid with a distinct odor. Abbreviated EtSH, it consists of an ethyl group (Et), CH3CH2, attached to a thiol group, SH. Its structure parallels that of ethanol, but with sulfur in

Didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC) is a quaternary ammonium compound used as antiseptic/disinfectant. It causes the disruption of intermolecular interactions and the dissociation of lipid bilayers.

Octanol appears as a clear colorless liquid with a penetrating aromatic odor. Insoluble in water and floats on water. Vapors heavier than air. Vapors may irritate the eyes, nose, and respiratory system.

Polysulfone, any of a class of resinous organic chemical compounds belonging to the family of polymers in which the main structural chain most commonly consists of benzene rings linked together by sulfonyl (―SO2―), ether (―O―), and isopropylidene (―C(CH3)2―) groups.

Is a catalyst in transesterification of specific oils and fats. Almost all oils and fats can be transesterified using potassium catalysts (e.g. for biodiesel production).

Is an amorphous material obtained from the sulfite pulping of softwood. The lignin framework is a sulfonated random polymer of three aromatic alcohols: coniferyl alcohol, p-coumaryl alcohol, and sinapyl alcohol, of which coniferyl alcohol is the principle unit.

Is the ester of cinnamic acid and ethanol. It is present in the essential oil of cinnamon. Pure ethyl cinnamate has a "fruity and balsamic odor, reminiscent of cinnamon with an amber note"

Is a colorless to white crystalline (sand-like) solid. It is used in explosives, flares, rocket propellants, photography, as a medication, and as an agent in automobile safety air bags.

A naturally occurring alcohol found in fruits and vegetables and used as an osmotic diuretic. Mannitol is freely filtered by the glomerulus and poorly reabsorbed from the renal tubule, thereby causing an increase in osmolarity of the glomerular filtrate.

Is a saline laxative that is thought to work by increasing fluid in the small intestine.
