Applications	Methyl mercaptan, is a colorless gas with a strong, unpleasant odor. It is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of methionine, an essential amino acid widely added to animal feed. Beyond this, it plays a role in the manufacture of pesticides, plastics, and pharmaceuticals, serving as a building block for various sulfur-containing compounds. Due to its distinctive smell, methyl mercaptan is also added as an odorant in natural gas to help detect leaks. While useful in industry, it is toxic and flammable, requiring careful handling and storage
