==============================================================================
Usage: Mainly used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in the pesticide industry, for the synthesis of organophosphorus insecticides (such as propiconazole and methomyl), herbicides (such as glyphosate), and soil insecticides. In addition, it is also used in the synthesis of fragrances, pharmaceutical intermediates (such as LRRK2 inhibitors for Parkinson's disease research), and other fine chemicals.

Synthesis route: In industry, it is mainly prepared through the following methods:
Reaction between bromopropane and thiourea: Reflux thiourea and bromopropane in methanol, then add sodium hydroxide solution for reaction, followed by acidification with sulfuric acid and distillation purification.
Halogenated propane reacts with sodium hydrosulfide: Halogenated propane (such as chloropropane or bromopropane) undergoes nucleophilic substitution reaction with sodium hydrosulfide (NaSH).
Catalytic reaction between propanol and hydrogen sulfide: At 300-380 ° C, propanol reacts with hydrogen sulfide (H ? S) through a catalyst (such as alumina) to produce propanethiol.
