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