Methyl 3-mercaptopropionate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

CLEAR COLORLESS LIQUID

Uses

Methyl 3-Mercaptopropionate is used in the synthesis of thioisoindolinones.

Uses

Methyl 3-mercaptopropionate is a click chemistry reagent used in the modification of oxazolines using thiol-ene click modification. It also has implications for self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). It is used in the colorimetric detection of mercury(II) in a high-salinity solution using gold nanoparticles.

Uses

The Progress in Development of Dental Restorative Materials
