2-Mercaptoethanol
2-Mercaptoethanol is the organosulfur compound with the formula HOCH2CH2SH. It is a colorless liquid. ME or βME, as it is commonly abbreviated, is used to reduce disulfide bonds. It is widely used because the hydroxyl group confers solubility in water and lowers the volatility. Due to its diminished vapor pressure its rotten egg odor is less objectionable than related thiols.
