Description

Benzo[b]thiophene-3-acetic acid is a radioactive compound that is used in nuclear medicine to measure the urinary excretion of metabolites. It can be quantitated by gas chromatography, and it has been shown to be excreted predominantly as an n-alkyl derivative. This analog of benzo[b]thiophene is also used as a sulfur source in organic synthesis. Benzo[b]thiophene-3-acetic acid has a chiral center, which means that it can exist in two forms: "R" and "S". The "R" form is radioactive and the "S" form is not. The temperature at which this compound dissociates into its constituent atoms can be determined by measuring the amount of radioactivity emitted from the compound.
