ETHYL THIOGLYCOLATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

colourless liquid

Uses

It finds its application in the reaction of the dilithio-derivative with an aldehyde, followed by conversion to the episulfide by reaction with ethyl chloroformate, and desulfurization with triethyl phosphite, leads to the (E)-2-alkenoic acid with high stereoselectivity. It is used as depilatories, hair straightening agent, hair waving agent, and reducing agent in cosmetic industry.
