2-METHYL-1,3-THIAZOLE-4-CARBOTHIOAMIDE - Introduction
2-Methyl-1 is an organic compound. The following is a description of its nature, use, preparation and safety information:
Nature:
2-Methyl-1, MTA (for short) is a white crystalline powder with a special strong sulfur taste. It is a flammable solid, soluble in acidic solutions but insoluble in water.
Use:
MTA has a variety of applications in chemical research and industrial production. Mainly used in the preparation of pesticides, drugs, light starting agent and dyes and other organic synthesis. It can also be used as an acidic detection reagent and separation reporter reagent for biological sulfides.
Method:
The preparation of MTA is usually accomplished by a two-step reaction. First, methylisothiocyanate reacts with thiocarbamate under basic conditions to give 2-Methyl-1, a precursor compound of phosphonium. The final product is then obtained by further cleavage reactions.
Safety Information:
MTA is a toxic substance that is irritating and dangerous. Personal protective equipment should be worn to avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhaling its dust or vapor during operation. If taken by mistake or inhaled, seek medical attention immediately. MTA should be stored and handled in accordance with the appropriate safety procedures, and properly kept to prevent leakage and accidents.
