(±)-Mercaptosuccinic acid

Description:

(±)-Mercaptosuccinic acid, also known as thiodiacetic acid, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both carboxylic acid and thiol functional groups. Its molecular formula is C4H6O4S, indicating that it contains four carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, four oxygen atoms, and one sulfur atom. This compound exists as a racemic mixture, meaning it contains equal amounts of both enantiomers, which can exhibit different biological activities. (±)-Mercaptosuccinic acid is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. It has applications in various fields, including biochemistry and pharmaceuticals, where it can act as a chelating agent for metal ions and as a precursor for the synthesis of other sulfur-containing compounds. Additionally, its thiol group contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in organic synthesis and potential therapeutic applications. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as it may pose hazards if not handled properly.
