Sulfoacetic acid

Description:

Sulfoacetic acid, also known as 2-sulfanylacetic acid or mercaptoacetic acid, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a carboxylic acid and a thiol functional group. Its molecular formula is C2H6O2S, and it features a sulfonic acid group, which imparts significant polarity and solubility in water. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor. Sulfoacetic acid is known for its applications in various fields, including as a reagent in organic synthesis, in the production of surfactants, and as an intermediate in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It exhibits properties such as being hygroscopic and having a relatively low boiling point. Additionally, it can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and nucleophilic substitution, due to the reactivity of its functional groups. Safety precautions are necessary when handling sulfoacetic acid, as it can be corrosive and irritating to the skin and eyes.
