Ethyl 3-mercaptopropionate

Description:

Ethyl 3-mercaptopropionate, with the CAS number 5466-06-8, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an ethyl ester and a thiol functional group. It has a molecular formula of C5H10O2S, indicating that it contains five carbon atoms, ten hydrogen atoms, two oxygen atoms, and one sulfur atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, characteristic odor due to the thiol group, which is known for its pungent scent. Ethyl 3-mercaptopropionate is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water. It is primarily used in the synthesis of various chemical compounds and as a flavoring agent in the food industry, owing to its unique aroma. Additionally, it may have applications in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. As with many thiol compounds, it can be reactive, particularly in the presence of oxidizing agents, and should be handled with care to avoid exposure to its strong odor and potential irritant properties.

Ethyl 3-mercaptopropionate

CAS: 5466-06-8

Ethyl 3-mercaptopropionate is a chemical compound that is used for the synthesis of polymers. It is obtained by the reaction between ethyl chloride and thiourea. Ethyl 3-mercaptopropionate can be recycled, so it does not need to be synthesized from scratch. It has a high affinity for chloride ions, which makes it useful in the production of polymer films. The presence of functional groups on its structure allows it to undergo nucleophilic substitutions with other substances. The film-forming ability of this compound makes it suitable as a matrix material in solid-phase synthesis reactions. This compound can be used to produce various types of polymers, including polyurethane, polyesters and acrylics. When used as a polymerization initiator, ethyl 3-mercaptopropionate can increase the yield of synthetic products by up to 50%.
