Uses
Used in the manufacture of thioindigo dyes and other chemicals and as a reagent for determination of iron; [HSDB]
MANUFACTURE OF THIOINDIGO DYES, REAGENT FOR DETERMINATION OF IRON
AS INTERMEDIATE
Methods of Manufacturing
PREPARED BY HEATING O-HALOGENATED BENZOIC ACIDS WITH ALKALINE HYDROSULFIDE IN PRESENCE OF COPPER; GERMAN PATENT 189,200 (1906); BY REDUCTION OF DITHIOSALICYLIC ACID: CLAASZ; BER 45, 2427 (1912); GERMAN PATENT 205,450; ALLEN, MACKAY, ORG SYN 12, 76 (1932).
Applications
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
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.
