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.
Due to its sulfhydryl sulfur's strong affinity to gold, 3-mercaptopropionic acid is widely 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.
Compared to other stabilizers, 3-mercaptopropionic acid, also known as thioglycolic acid, offers superior stability, making it ideal for transparent products. Additionally, it can act as an antioxidant, catalyst, and biochemical reagent.
Moreover, 3-mercaptopropionic acid serves as a chain transfer agent in polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer, boasting excellent stability and a prolonged shelf life.
