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 widely utilized in the preparation of hydrophilic gold nanoparticles. It serves as an intermediate in the production of the medicine fenalol and is also employed as a stabilizer in polyvinyl chloride.
Compared to other stabilizers, 3-Mercaptopropionic acid, also known as thioglycolic acid, offers exceptional stability, making it ideal for transparent products. Additionally, it functions as an antioxidant, catalyst, and biochemical reagent.
Moreover, 3-Mercaptopropionic acid acts as a chain transfer agent in polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer, showcasing excellent stability and a prolonged shelf life.
