Chemical Properties

White Solid

Uses

Sodium Methanethiosulfonate (cas# 1950-85-2) is a compound useful in organic synthesis.

Purification Methods

Recrystallise the salt from H2O (plates as monohydrate) or MeOH. The potassium salt crystallises from H2O, EtOH or MeOH (thick plates) with m 201-202o [Foss Acta Chem Scand 10 868 1956]. The S-benzylisothiouronium salt has m 141-142o (from EtOH) [Kurzer & Powell J Chem Soc 3733 1952]. [Beilstein 4 IV 31.]
