3-Mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) is a versatile organic sulfur compound containing sulfhydryl and carboxyl groups in its molecular structure. This oily liquid is commonly derived from 3-chloropropionic acid or acrylonitrile and thiourea.
With a strong affinity of its sulfhydryl sulfur to gold, 3-mercaptopropionic acid is utilized in the production of hydrophilic gold nanoparticles. It serves as an intermediate in the medicine fenalol and functions as a stabilizer in polyvinyl chloride applications.
Known for its exceptional stability, 3-mercaptopropionic acid can be used for transparent products, surpassing other stabilizers in performance. Additionally, it serves as an antioxidant, catalyst, and biochemical reagent.
Moreover, 3-mercaptopropionic acid acts as a chain transfer agent in polycarboxylic acid superplasticizers, offering excellent stability and a prolonged shelf life.
