Introduction | 3-mercaptopropionic acid is a direct raw material of organic chemical industry, used in pharmaceutical intermediates, electronic chemicals; it is used as an intermediate in the medicine of fennerol and also as a stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride. It can be used in transparent products like thioglycolic acid, and has very good thermal stability, which is superior to other stabilizers. It is also used as antioxidant, catalyst and Biochemical reagent. |
purpose | This product is an intermediate of medicine fennerol and also used as a stabilizer of polyvinyl chloride. It is the same as thioglycolic acid can be used in transparent products, thermal stability is very good, better than other stabilizers. Also used as antioxidants, catalysts and biochemical reagents. 3-mercaptopropionic acid is an intermediate of fenalol in medicine and is also used as a stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride. Thioglycolic acid as can be used for transparent products, its stability is very good, better than other stabilizers. It can also be used as antioxidant, catalyst and Biochemical reagent. used as antioxidant, catalyst and Biochemical reagent. High speed RP-HPLC/FC analysis of amino acids. suitable reagents for amino acid analysis by OPA used in pharmaceutical intermediates, electronic chemicals, etc. |
production method | acrylonitrile and thiourea are used as raw materials. First, react thiourea with hydrochloric acid at 40 ℃ for 0.5h, Dropwise add acrylonitrile, react at 110-113 ℃ for 3h, cool to 40 ℃, add 4% sodium hydroxide solution to pH 11, and dehydrogenation for 4h, neutralized with hydrochloric acid at 30 °c to a pH of 1-2. Then, benzene is added for extraction, and after benzene is recovered, vacuum distillation is carried out, and a 125-140 ° C. Fraction is collected to obtain a finished product. In addition, 3-mercaptopropionic acid can also be obtained from the reaction of hydrogen sulfide with pyruvic acid or with β-propiolactone. |
spontaneous combustion temperature | 662 ° F. |
