Product Information

• Name: Ethyl 2-mercapto-2-methylpropionate
• Synonyms: 2-Mercapto-2-methyl-propionic acid ethyl ester
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Ethyl 2-mercapto-2-methylpropionate is a heterocyclic organic compound with a planar, torsional, and five-membered ring. The compound is a result of the reflux of thiazoline and ethyl 2-mercaptoacetate. The reflux temperature for this reaction is approximately 140 °C. In this process, the methyl group in the ethyl 2-mercaptoacetate is replaced by a hydrogen atom. This replacement results in an extra carbon-carbon bond in the molecule’s structure.
