Used primarily as an odorant in natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) due to its strong, unpleasant smell, enabling quick detection of gas leaks. Also serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Its sulfur-containing structure makes it useful in vulcanization processes in rubber manufacturing. Additionally, it finds use in flavor and fragrance industries in trace amounts for creating sulfur-based aroma notes.
