General Manufacturing InformationBenzoic acid, 2-mercapto-: ACTIVE
Applications · 1 item

UsesThiosalicylic acid acts as a trapping agent, which is useful in the desulfenylation of 3-indolyl sulfides. It is used to prepare macrocyclic diamides by condensation with diamines. Further, it is used as a precursor to drug, which finds application for the treatment of atherosclerosis and melanoma. In addition to this, it is involved in the preparation of vaccine preservative thiomersal and thioindigo dyestuff.

Preparation methods · 1 item

PreparationThiosalicylic acid can be prepared from anthranilic acid via diazotization followed by the addition of sodium sulfide and then reduction with zinc. It can also prepared by heating o-halogenated benzoic acids with alkaline hydrosulfide in presence of copper.
