Acetic acid, mercapto-, benzyl ester - Introduction

Mercaptoacetic acid Benzyl ester is an organic compound with the chemical formula C9H10O2S. It is the esterification product of the reaction of thioglycolic acid with benzyl alcohol.

Mercaptoacetic acid benzoyl ester is a colorless liquid with a strong aroma. It can be dissolved in many organic solvents, such as ethanol, chloroform and ether solvents. It has a melting point of -10°C and a boiling point of 230°C.

Mercaptoacetic acid benzoyl ester is mainly used as a chemical reagent and intermediate. It is widely used in organic synthesis as a protecting group for sulfhydryl (-SH) for the synthesis of other organic compounds. It can also be used as an ingredient in insecticides and mildewcides.

The common method for preparing Mercaptoacetic acid benzoyl ester is to esterify thioglycolic acid with benzyl alcohol under alkaline conditions. Generally, thioglycolic acid and benzyl alcohol are mixed in a molar ratio of 1:1, an alkali solution is added, and the reaction is heated for several hours to obtain the product.

You need to pay attention to safety when using Mercaptoacetic acid Benzyl Ester. It is irritating and corrosive and may cause irritation and injury to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Wear appropriate protective equipment such as gloves, goggles and face shields during operation. When storing and handling, it should be kept away from fire and oxidizing agents, and avoid contact with strong acids and strong bases.
