CAS 623-51-8

Ethyl mercaptoacetate

Description:

Ethyl mercaptoacetate, with the CAS number 623-51-8, is an organic compound classified as a thiol ester. It features a mercapto group (-SH) attached to an acetate moiety, making it a member of the thiol family. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, pungent odor reminiscent of garlic or rotten eggs. Ethyl mercaptoacetate is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic characteristics. It is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, and can participate in various chemical transformations, including the formation of thioesters and disulfides. This compound is often utilized in organic synthesis and as a flavoring agent in the food industry due to its distinctive aroma. However, it should be handled with care, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper safety precautions are essential when working with this substance in laboratory or industrial settings.

Ethyl mercaptoacetate

CAS: 623-51-8

Ethyl mercaptoacetate (EM) is a metabolite of ethyl diazoacetate (EDA) that reacts with nucleophilic groups such as hydroxyl, amino, and thiol groups. It binds to the receptor binding sites of an enzyme that is involved in inflammatory diseases. EM has been shown to have inhibitory effects on the activity of this enzyme and may be used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. EM also inhibits the production of epoxides by acting as an alkylating agent on protein cysteine residues. This reaction leads to changes in the nmr spectra which can be used for identification purposes.
