:2-Mercapto-2-methylpropanoic acid
Description:
2-Mercapto-2-methylpropanoic acid, also known as thiolactic acid, is an organosulfur compound characterized by the presence of both a thiol (-SH) and a carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional group. Its molecular formula is C4H8O2S, and it features a branched structure with a methyl group attached to the carbon adjacent to the thiol and carboxylic acid groups. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor reminiscent of rotten eggs due to the thiol group. It is soluble in water and polar organic solvents, making it versatile for various applications. 2-Mercapto-2-methylpropanoic acid is used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of thiol derivatives and as a reducing agent. Additionally, it has potential applications in the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries due to its reactivity and ability to form metal complexes. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes.
