What Is 2-Mercaptoethanol?

2-Mercaptoethanol is an organic compound containing an alcohol group and a thiol group. Its chemical structure is HS–CH₂–CH₂–OH. These functional groups make it useful as a chemical building block and in selected polymerization processes.

Product Name: 2-Mercaptoethanol
Other Names: Beta-Mercaptoethanol, β-Mercaptoethanol, BME, 2-ME
CAS Number: 60-24-2
Molecular Formula: C₂H₆OS
Structural Formula: HS–CH₂–CH₂–OH
Main Industrial Functions: Chain-transfer agent and chemical intermediate
Purity and Specification: Confirm against the offered grade and COA.


The terms 2-Mercaptoethanol and Beta-Mercaptoethanol refer to the same compound. Buyers should specify the required grade because industrial and laboratory applications can have different quality requirements.
