Mercaptoacetic acid calcium salt trihydrate

Description:
Mercaptoacetic acid calcium salt trihydrate, with the CAS number 65208-41-5, is a chemical compound that serves as a calcium salt of mercaptoacetic acid, also known as thioglycolic acid. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water, which is a characteristic feature of many salts. The presence of the trihydrate indicates that it contains three molecules of water for each molecule of the salt, contributing to its stability and solubility. Mercaptoacetic acid itself is known for its thiol (-SH) functional group, which imparts reducing properties and makes the compound useful in various applications, including as a reducing agent in chemical synthesis and in the formulation of hair treatments. Additionally, the calcium salt form may enhance its stability and bioavailability in certain applications. Safety data should be consulted, as thiol compounds can be reactive and may pose health risks if not handled properly.
