Product Information

• Name: S-Ethyl thioacetate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: S-Ethyl thioacetate is an organic compound with the molecular formula CH2SO3CH2CH3. It is a colorless liquid with a pleasant odor. S-Ethyl thioacetate has been shown to be a good nucleophile and reacts quickly with ethyl bromoacetate to form the symmetrical adduct, ethyl 2-(S-ethylthio) acetate. The reaction mechanism for this reaction is believed to involve a concerted, nucleophilic attack of the sulfur atom on the electrophilic carbonyl carbon in ethyl bromoacetate, followed by displacement of the leaving group (Br) by the oxygen atom from S-ethylthio acetate. This leads to formation of an acetic acid derivative that contains two methyl ketones in place of two hydroxyl groups. Glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes a reaction in which glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
