Ethyl mercaptan is an important pesticide intermediate, which is used for the production of organophosphorus pesticides such as isopropyl phosphate, phorate, phorate, internally absorbed phosphorus, methyl internally absorbed phosphorus, etc. It can also be used to produce antibacterial agent 401. When the concentration of ethanethiol in the air is only 1/50 billion, its odor can be detected, so it can be used as a warning agent for natural gas and petroleum gas, as well as a odorant for reagents (its odor can be detected when the concentration is 0.00019mg/L). Ethyl mercaptan can also be used in organic synthesis such as medicine.
