Product Description
Thiosalicylic Acid, also known as 2-Mercaptobenzoic Acid, is an organosulfur compound featuring a carboxylic acid group and a thiol (-SH) group positioned ortho to each other on a benzene ring. It appears as a yellow to light brown crystalline powder with a distinct sulfur odor. Thiosalicylic acid is widely used as an intermediate in pharmaceuticals, metal chelating agents, and in the synthesis of organosulfur compounds. Its strong metal-binding properties make it suitable for use in analytical and coordination chemistry.
