Description

(Benzylthio)acetic acid is an organic compound that belongs to the group of alkanoic acids. It is a colorless, water-soluble liquid with a strong odor. It has two phenyl groups and one hydroxyl group. The molecule can exist in two forms: cis (Z-form) and trans (E-form). The cis form has a higher boiling point than the trans form. The analytical methods used to identify this substance are gas chromatography and infrared spectroscopy. In addition, this substance can be detected by its characteristic absorption bands in the IR spectrum. This monomer is also useful as a chelate ligand for metal ions, such as magnesium and calcium, which have an affinity for primary amines.
